Wishing you all of God's blessings in the new year. - Ken May there always be work for your hands to do; May your purse always hold a coin or two; May the sun always shine on your windowpane; May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain; May the hand of a friend always be near you; May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you. ~ Irish blessing Every day I feel is a blessing from God.

I saddened to learn that actress Dawn Wells passed away today from COVID-19. I, like many people of my generation, fell in love with Wells during her run as Marry Ann Summers (or simply Marry Ann) on the iconic 60s sitcom Gilligan's Island. "Mary Ann has been such a big part of my life these past 40 years, it's really impossible to get away from it. But why would I want to? Everywhere in the world that I go I am greeted with love. Some kids who watched the show back then are still watching, but with their grandchildren now. That is a really wonderful thing! As an actress I have succeeded, I created a character that meant something to some people and it has lasted. So I refuse to ignore it and run away from it." - Dawn Wells Bio: A wholesome beauty from Reno, Nevada, Dawn Wells was on her way to becoming a ballerina, but bad knees prevented her from realizing the dream. Despite this, she did become Miss Nevada and was in the 1960 Miss America pageant. Wells majored in ...
