Description: Here's another one of Fuzzy's early brushes (more like a tickle) with fame - when Rich Koz read my letter on The Koz Zone! It included the mildly humorous limerick that I had written, Fred.

I had a pet weasel named Fred
who liked to ride on my sled
but then one day, a rock got in the way
and that was the end of Fred.

I was also proud of the fact that per my suggestion, Rich re-instituted the "Cards & Letters" theme at the end of his mail segments, as had been used in his Son of Svengoolie days.

Rich points out the little Sugar Bear doll that I sent him. For some reason I was sending him whatever junk I could find around the house that I didn't want. I'm surprised I didn't "go into [my] parent's drawers and send all the pictures of dead presidents..." ;-)

But seriously, here is a list of some the stuff I sent him and which he put on the air: My picture, Sugar Bear doll, Alfred E. Newman for President sticker, Computer "Glitch" button, Snoopy bobble-head doll, Vlasic Pickles beach ball, Plastered Peanuts Wacky Package sticker, picture of a former (sort-of) girlfriend named Hope Polenica, Budweiser Can "lamp", and a large-sized inflatable alligator swim raft! I can't even remember all the junk I sent him. It was just exciting to see what he would put on the air. Yes, I was nuts. :-p Ok, that's enough FuzzyEmbarrassment for today...

This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, October 21st 1989. (My 15th Birthday!)
