1. Nooo, not Fiedler too

Emil Peterson on The Bob Newhart Show was my second favorite of the patients, behind Mr. Carlin of course. He had one hell of a great career.

Couple of great talents went this weekend.

2. I heard that this morning...

So sad. I love the old Winnie the Pooh movies.

Were they the last remaining voices?

5. I think so....

Winnie the Pooh's voice is done by a 40+ guy. I remember seeing him on Entertainment Tonight (Does that show even run?) a few years ago.

3. Winchell was one of the great ventriloquists...

RIP...

6. "Tigger" was my nickname in JR. High

And the last 10 years, I have nicknamed myself Piglet (a joke with myself about the changes from PTSD) so this is kinda freaky news.

May they RIP. Many, many children have been delighted by their work.

An Old Pooh fan, here.
