A secret Vic and Sade website
For those who don't remember, at one time, I had a web site that devoted entirely to Uncle Fletcher. I eventually phased it out and it no longer exists.
You also may not know about Garbled-de-Gook, a website I began a few years ago and just never finished. If you are doing Vic and Sade research, it may or may not come in handy.

Love Letters to Vic and Sade
Thanks (again) to Dave Duckert, there is now a new Vic and Sadecast up. This one is called, "Love Letters to Vic and Sade". Dave recently made a trek to the Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison and was allowed to leaf through and copy several fan letters to the show.
Dave got his family and friends together and recorded the letters, along with Sarah Cole and myself. Some of these letters will really hit home with you, either in a fun or a sad way. This program lasts a little more than 16 minutes but it packs a wallop, emotionally. Dave did a wonderful job choosing the letters for all to read, and as always, is a fine host.
I hope you will check out the show and leave Dave some feedback. He deserves it!

Crooper, Illinois and where that came from
If you are any kind of fan of Vic and Sade, you know that somewhere down the line, someone said
that Vic and Sade was set in Crooper, Illinois. It's been known to be set in other odd places too, but let's not get all into that now. Let's focus on Crooper.
The story goes this way: the dad-gummed (horrible) Vic and Sade television show is to blame. The 1957 TV show had Yamilton's Department Store in Crooper. Someone named Fred Schroeder then claimed in print that the Gooks lived in Crooper, which lies 40 miles from Peoria. Come to find out, there is no Crooper - it's Cooper. While it is close to Bloomington, it's certainly not Bloomington.

Small details being added to episodes
When John Hetherington's book was released, I was able to obtain a multitude of information about many episodes we knew nothing about.
Since this was Hetherington's work, I felt it crucial to leave out numerous details along the way, so that left his book with a lot of "bite"; in other words, I didn't want to let the whole cat out of the bag.
However, this past week, I asked Hetherington if would be okay to share these left-out details with you and add them to the episodes of the Crazy World website, to which he readily consented. So, over the next few weeks, I will be adding that stuff.
I will also let you know on this website what I added and where. It's redundant, but necessary.
