Hello everyone; It isn't often I post here in this forum,..........but I have a simple request: I have just posted an image in the Bryce Gallery called "Long Live the Captain",......sort of my paltry idea of a memorial to Captain Kangaroo, who died this past week. I have never asked any of you to go look at any of my images before,........this I ask of you now. If you know or have any memories of the Captain, please go view the image and if you would, leave a comment,........not about the image but rather about your memories of the Captain. Thank you for your attention,.....sackrat."Any club that would have me as a member is probably not worth joining" -Groucho Marx

A fitting, and touching tribute, very nicely done!

I'm from the UK so you may understand why I ask, who is Captain Kangaroo?

Here you go Catlin, the first one is an obituary type clip the second is a recent article concerning his career and times. The third is a dedicated site with photos and biographies but obviously not yet updated to include his death, if you wait long enough you'll get a soundbite of the TV program. He was pretty much baby boomers version of Mr. Rogers while growing up.

Thanks Quest, it looks like they've updated it with the news now.
