oh how soon we forget... i thought Art had passed away years ago. i hope that the later years of his life were as least as happy as the years he made us laugh, and think, when we saw his conversing with the "little ones" on tv's on House Party, and the even funnier "Kids Say The Darndest Things. rest in peace, Art. i think even GOD needs a good laugh. Sam Downey P.S. bill cosby hosted a version of KSTDS years ago. bill used his comedy talent to interact with the kids that made his version fresh, and up-to-date, and made Art proud. keep plugging, Bill !!
