Paul Winchell passed away this past week.

Winchell was a ventriloquist who had and afternoon TV show for kids......he was also the voice of T'igger' in the Winnie the Pooh movies.

He also got a license/patent for the the first artifical heart......which he invented back in the early sixties.

His two 'dummies' were Jerry Mahoney.....I nice Irish kid and Knucklehead Smith......a dumb.........a dumb.......

A dummy!!

I used to race home to see two dummies and a real man talk to each other??

You left this a bit unclear Richard.

Did you run home from work to watch this program?

Or did you run home after school? Was it college?

You are in trouble.

(opportunities to tease Richard can never be left alone)

T-I-double guh-er! I love Tigger! I never knew who did his voice, but the voice sure made the character.

The voice of Piglet died two days ago! Really, an excellent character actor whose name escapes me at this moment but he also was one of the jury in "12 Angry Men" and had parts in many movies and TV. It feels like a part of my youth has gone
