Louve00 -> RE: Art Linkletter dies at 97 (5/26/2010 8:34:27 PM)

Yea, I heard 3 of his 5 kids died before him. His daughter did jump out of a window, but it was rumored that she did not have LSD in her system. However Art Linkletter did crusade against the use of drugs after her death. He lost another son to a car accident, and a third son to lymphoma. But, he said he believed life should be lived, not while sitting in your favorite comfy chair, but by actually living "in" it. He skiid (skiied?) at age 72. I always admired him, but when I googled facts on him after I heard of his death, I find I like him even more as I learn. (Like, he was born in Canada, given up for adoption by an unwed mother), he was adopted by (I think) US citizens and they all moved to San Diego. He was friends with Ronald Reagan. He first tried his hand at acting, but later learned that people, and interviewing them, revealing them..was his thing. And it was, I really liked watching his shows.
