Since many (most?) on The Lounge seem to be over 40 years old (me included) in case you hadn't heard famed early children's television pioneer John Rovick died in Boise, Idaho a few days ago. He was famous back in the 1950's and 60's in Southern California for his character Sheriff John.
He wore a nice western hat of course!
Lots of nostalgia for those of us who remember children's programming from a simpler time without all the crassness and vulgarity of today.
A good article about him is at http://www.idahostatesman.com/2012/10/09/2303331/childrens-tv-pioneer-sheriff-john.html
And video tribute for his 90'th birthday in 2009:
