| Addie
Bobkins,
King
of
the
Boo
Boo's,
is
my
father...
what
a
wonderful
time
in
our
lives
that
was...
pies
in
his
face,
Mr.
Weird
Beard
and
the
rest
of
the
puppet
gang,
and
lip-syncing
to
the
Beatles....
I
live
in
Phoenix
now,
but
still
run
into
people
from
the
Northwest
who
remember
my
dad.
It
warms
my
heart
to
know
the
far-reaching
affect
he
had
on
people.
He
is
still
having
fun
doing
some
voice-over
work,
is
active
at
church,
and
is
loving
golf.
I
remember
the
countless
hours
of
volunteering
he
did
for
the
March
of
Dimes...
My
father
taught
me
that
where
much
is
given,
much
is
expected.
Thank
you
for
this
website
-
what
a
grand
trip
down
memory
lane...
