About Me

My photo
"Hello! Hello! Hello! - Hello!" What? Tell something about myself. "Why Soitenly!" First and foremost I am a big fan of The Three Stooges!!! I'm a leader like Moe ( "I'll lead the way. Go ahead!" ), I work like Larry ( Moe: "Get the Tools". Larry: "What tools?" Moe: "The tools we been using for the last ten years!" Larry: "Oh, Those Tools!" ), I think like Curly ( "I'm trying to think but nothing happens" ). I was told this would make me poifect for the military!!! So I join the Air Force back in 1979 and stayed in for 13 years. Served in Desert Storm in 1991. "I make a lot of money but I got sick of the dough, and thought I'd go on the loaf." So I got out of the Air Force and join the Kansas Air National Guard in 1992. I have a great love for dogs! In fact I have four dogs that live in my house right now. "Arf! Arf! Arf!" & "RrrrARF!" After a long day at work, I come home, open the door, kiss the dogs and pat the wife on the head. What a life!!! "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk" Of course after my wife reads this she's going to hit me on the head just like Moe would do Curly. And I'm going to have to run for the hills! "Woo, woo, woo, woo!!!"

Look who showed up, Stooge Fan Bob Bernet.

His web site: "My Pal Moe" (http://web2.airmail.net/willdogs/) is one of the best around!!!


Author Steve Cox. (His new book "One Fine Stooge" is one Great Book!). So that would make him "One Fine Author". "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk"

Actress Diana Darrin. Has worked with everyone from "The Three Stooges" to "Jack Nicholson"!!! (Diana appeared in a number of Shemp and Joe Besser Stooges shorts in the 1950s. She was also in an episode of "Adventures of Superman", "Bonanza", and "Perry Mason", and in B-movies such as "The Incredible Shrinking Man", "Reform School Girl", "The Amazing Colossal Man" and A-pictures like "Marty", and "The Naked Ape" and much, much more!).


Saxon Sitka (son of supporting actor Emil Sitka). Saxon's father "Emil Sitka" is famous for his character roles in slapstick comedy, he became a regular in shorts and feature films with the Three Stooges, making thirty-five shorts with the boys. He holds the further distinction of appearing with each of the six Stooges (Moe, Shemp, and Curly Howard; Larry Fine; Joe Besser; and Joe DeRita).

His web site is: "Emil Sitka-The Fourth Stooge" ( http://www.emilsitka.com/)


Kansas Stooge with Joan Howard Maurer. (Moe's daughter) She is the author of: "The Three Stooges Book of Scripts", "Curly, an Illustrated Biography of the Superstooge" (My
favorite!!!) , "The Three Stooges: Book of Scripts Volume II", "The Three Stooges Scrapbook".


L to R: Jen Howard (Moe's grand-daughter), Paul Howard (Moe's son & Jen's father), One tired Kansas Stooge (Paul & Gary are keeping me from falling down after that long walk), Gary Lassin (Stoogeologist and Fan Club President).


April 21, 22, 23, 2006
After a long flight from Wichita KS to Philadelphia PA.
I decided to walk from the Holiday Inn to the Stoogeum.
The directions said it would only take 6 to 8 minutes by car.
So I figured that would translate into 15 to 20 minutes walking.
Boy was I wrong, when the directions said go 4 lights I was thinking of 4 normal city blocks.
This turned out to be more like one mile per block.
With heavy traffic and almost no sidewalks to walk on, I kept going!!!
The walk or should I say The Quest, turned out to be more than I was expecting.
But in the end I finally made it!!!
