Yes, I'm aware it's Sanford & Son. I was envisioning a kind of "heavenly re-union" of the stars of these excellent TV sitcoms that showcased some of the best black talent to a national audience.

Hello Mr. Evans.

I remember watching you on that show.

You did a good job.

My condolences on the loss of Mike Evans. Take care.

RE: 36 - Damon, welcome to FreeRepublic! We're happy to have you, although we'd wish for happier circumstances.

It must be especially difficult for you, as many of your castmates have passed on - Ms. Roker, Mr. Cover, Ms. Sanford in particular. I remember watching both you and Mike as Lionel, when I was young (I'm almost 40) and I enjoyed you both tremendously. I always wondered if it was one of those Darin York/Darrin Sargent things from "Bewitched"...whatever happened, I'm glad you were part of the show.

And I am certainly glad that you are here. Please continue to join us, and offer your opinions about whatever is on your mind. If you don't mind my asking, what drew you to Free Republic? We've had celebrities/radio hosts post here, such as radio hosts Mark Levin and now-WH Press Secretary Tony Snow, and have also read articles here from Joseph C. Phillips, who starred on the Cosby Show. Just curious, as a long time FReeper, how you found us!

Again, Damon, welcome and may the Father of mercies give you comfort at this time. Happy Holidays and a wonderful new year to you.

Throat cancer is suggestive of tobacco use.

But not definitive. My mother in law had it, and she hasn't smoked a day in her life. She had a laryngectomy back in the 1980s. She's still going strong, although is somewhat tired from caring for her husband, who is in really bad shape from a series of micro strokes.

She worked hard and learned to talk again, using epilglottal speech. You can even understand her on the phone. We are all so proud of her.
