MEETING “LASSIE’S MOM”

Even though she died a few days ago, only now did I just learn of the death of June Lockhart. If you grew up watching 50s and 60s television, you remember her as *everyone’s* mom. Her beloved television shows included Lassie, Lost in Space, Petticoat Junction, plus many character roles in popular movies, usually typecast as the ideal mom.

My Dallas Trip: Stars-Golden Knights Playoff Game

 

 

Few sporting events are more exciting than NHL playoff hockey.

Mother and I went to the playoff game, which ironically featured Dallas playing versus Las Vegas. We decided to go all out with opposite team jerseys.

Than fans around us were great.

Terrific seats, and a great game won by Dallas, which eliminated the defending Stanley Cup champion Golden Knights to advance to Round 2 of the playoffs.
