So I’m sure you remember my talking before about <My brush with a brush with greatness>
Sure you do.
Well, now comes word that my cousin KNOWS the hopefully – still – oh – so – hot (to a 9-year old) co-star of Lost in Space, Major Jim West!!!!!! played by Mark Goddard (thanks for saving me the lookup Matt!).
All I can say is “AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!” <scream in high-pitch 9-year old voice>
Oh — my — god. If he knew what a crush my 2 sisters and friend Meg had on him. Mmm, we thought he was suh-weeeet.
Isn’t that <can’t think of good word> how two groups of people, (the friends I grew up with) and my cousin (who’s lived all over the place) who don’t even know each other have such up – close – and – personal ties to the same tv show?! OK, well I think it is <can’t think of good word>…
Life lesson of the day: It’s a small world after all. (I dare you to not sing that song for the rest of the day now…heh heh heh.) It’s like the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon or something. It’s just crazy, I tell you, crazy!
So, Matt, how do you know him????? Give us the scoop man.
Inquiring minds want to know!
Yes, I know I could just call you or email you or IM you or text you or post a letter to you but tell us all here, wouldja???
This is more than a brush with a brush with greatness now. It’s turning into a GE Home Cleaning System with greatness, sucking everything into its vortex.
<For past post about the GE Home Cleaning System see <The right tool for the right job (today’s cheap thrill)> in which I describe how my world was rocked by one simple thing.>

He is married to a friend of mine! And I give him credit as he didn’t take being a Hollywood actor thing too serious as he now teaches at a school for special needs students (autism I think)in South East Massachusetts.
Will tell more at the BIG party in July
I do know he still does the SCI FI conventions.
your cousin!
