RipVanWinkle

Happy Birthday, my dear beloved Edge of Night.

April 2, 1956 - December 28, 1984

 

You will, always, be a part of me.

 

 

I'm, fairly, new.  Forgive me, I posted this in the wrong place.  But, I can't help but remember,

 

that, tomorrow, April 2, both ATWT and Edge of Night premiered in 1956.

Juliajms, Please forgive me, for the poor choice of words.  You are right, if these charges are true, Lori Loughlin brought this on, herself.

I am torn by this news, and I'll explain why.  My heart aches to think that this happened to Lori Loughlin,

 

Edge's first Jody Travis.  

 

On the other hand, I can, proudly, say, that I graduated from Magna CumLaude college, as an inductee of five

honor societies: The History Honor Society, the Psychology Honor Society, the National Honor Society for

General Academic Excellence, the Graduate Education Honor Society and 'Who's Who Among Students in

American Universities & Colleges,' which honors the top 10% of college graduates.  Under the best of circumstances,

this would be no mean feat to accomplish, but, I did all of that, despite losing both of my parents, while in college.

I can tell you that my father died, suddenly, the day that Sky and Raven Whitney found their stolen fortune (December

23, 1983).  A year later, I lost my beloved Edge.  

I felt the loss of an Edge, as deeply, as it was a family member.  I thank God, every day, that circumstances allowed me to

be invited to the studio, on its final day of taping.

I am, now, virtually, disabled and home-bound, due to illness.  I look back and wonder, how I, ever, managed to accomplish

all that I did.  So many times, I was tempted to drop out, but I didn't.

I have, my dear late wife to thank for convincing me, to stick it out.

We had only known each other, for a few months, when my father died.  We had no commitments to each other, yet,

she believed in me.

She, like my father, died, suddenly.  I miss her, terribly.
