Seattle TV pioneer 'Wunda Wunda' dies at 101

She was on in the early 1960s. I remember meeting her as a kid of 5 or 6.

1. I remember her from my early childhood in Portland.

I had a "Benji" teddy bear just like hers.

I am glad that her kind heart was remembered.

2. I had a Benji bear, too.

Kept it for years as a momento.

101, that's a good long life!
Fond memories of her show as a child.

3. Jealous...

Wish I had mine. He was my best friend as a four year old.

4. I remember her show.

My sister used to watch it in the 1950s.

Time flies! JP Patches is gone, Stan Boreson is gone, Captain Puget and Sherrif Tex also. And now Wunda Wunda.

Only Brakeman Bill is still with us.

5. Most every local TV market had kids shows in the afternoon back then.

Dr Max on WMT in Cedar Rapids was one of those I watched.

Max Hahn got the gig when his predecessor moved to a similar position in San Francisco.
