BIONIC WOMAN IS NO MORE Born on March 19, 1935 in Queens Village, Long Island, NY Nancy Malone begins her career at 7 as a model in Kellogg’s Cereal ads all the way to Ford cars and Macy’s. At 10 she appears on the cover of Life magazine’s 10th anniversary issue as The Typical American Girl. Her acting career begins when William Morris signs her in a show broadcast live on the DuMont TV Network. She stars in the TV series Naked City where she receives an Emmy nomination for best actress. She has guest roles on Bonanza, The Fugitive, The Partridge Family, Big Valley, The Rockford Files, The Andy Griffith Show and Hawaii Five-O among others. She is a producer of the 1970’s series The Bionic Woman. Nancy Malone’s representative, Harlan Boll, says she dies on Thursday, May 8, 2014 from leukemia in Los Angeles, CA.
TV STATIONS AIR PICTURES OF 15′ JAWS LIKE SHARK Two San Diego, CA TV stations warn viewers about a great white shark that swims close to shore. Both ABC affiliate KGTV TV and CBS affiliate KFMB TV use a photo that appears to show a 15 foot shark with its dorsal fin out of the water that swims near Point Loma. But there is one tiny problem. The photo is fake. KGTV TV talks with Will Phillips who says that he takes a picture of a dolphin. His friend turns it into a shark. iMediaEthics reports the Shark Research Committee publishes the photo. After the TV stations air the fake Jaws like shark photo, Phillips tells them that it is fake. Both KGTV TV and KFMB TV air retractions and post stories about the hoax on their websites.
WILLIE NELSON’S TOUR BUS BRING BIG BUCKS When Country music Superstar Willie Nelson goes on the road he brings along four giant busses. Rolling Stone reports Tom O’Leary buys Willie’s 1983 bus in 2010 on a whim and uses it to travel to NASCAR races and hunting trips. Over the weekend Dallas-area owner O’Leary places Willie’s longtime drummer Paul English’s former tour bus on Craigslist for $29,000. But news travels fast that this is no ordinary bus. It is one of Willie Nelson’s tour busses. A fan grabs Nelson’s former tour bus for $80,000. O’Leary says: I mainly just thought it looked cool. It needed quite a bit of work when I got it and I did it all myself: fuel systems, electrical, floors, plumbing. Willie’s tour bus, Scout, only gets seven miles per gallon of eco-friendly fuel.

RONALD HESDORFF (San Antonio, TX) Subject: Judd Ashmore and Ricci Ware on KBUC. Hi Jim I found your email searching for information on Ricci and Judd. I was trying to figure out when they were on KBUC. I guess I remembered it wrong. I was born in 1963 and remember my Mother always listening to their shows every morning on KBUC when she listened to her country music in the morning. Thank you again for the info. Ron Hesdorff

DR. JEFF CUNNINGHAM (Austin-Kyle, TX) Hey, guy. I now have the gmail and you are being filtered, per your message. But I am able to get you because I do download all of the filtered mail through here. Likely you got tagged because of the high volume that you do in a non-commercial account. It is their way of making you pay for things you don’t need. I love free market industrialists. Jeff Cunningham, DC, MA Kyle, TX
