BLAIR DAVIES & GENE PETERSON:

Two recent "Days" actors finally found in records are Blair Davies (Judge Weedman, 1966) and Gene Peterson (Peter Larkin, 1969-1970). Note that Davies, who was born 10/5/1905, fibbed about his age on his WWII card and said he was born in 1907. The Peterson article is from 2/8/59.

Here's articles on both of them, as well as their World War II cards featuring their signatures.

Thanks so much @JAS0N47 if you don't post those articles in the LOL and Brighter Day threads, could I?

Do you know when that Peterson article is from? He's mainly listed as being on LOL in 1958. They give him more of a billing in the article than I thought he had on the show.

I like what he said about the 85 year old fan knowing more than the director. Soap fans, especially back then, had to be sharp.

Davis & Davies would have been a great team for a bill.

Sure, I've never been in those threads, so you can certainly post them there! Although I just research Days, I'm glad it also helps other soaps too! The Duluth News Tribune 2/8/59 for the Gene Peterson article.
