Richard Biggs Memorial Show March 2005

[Jan]

Some of you may have been hearing rumors of a small fundraising
convention to benefit Rick Biggs' family. I just got word from Lori
(Rick's wife) that it's definitely on. She sent me a flyer (.jpg
file) in case anybody wants me to email it to them, but this is the information I
transcribed from it. GREAT guest list!

Jerry Doyle gave the memorial a plug on his show yesterday night.

 

[Jan]

I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks for letting us know.

He plugged it again last night, and he had Matthew Ashford from "Days of our Lives" on talking about it.

Yes, Matthew Ashford is supposed to be there I understand. It turns out I'll be able to go, too. I'm looking forward to seeing Andreas Katsulas and Ed Wasser in person for the first time.

Thanks for the update.

He seems to mention it every time he talks about Babylon 5, or any of the actors he worked with.

Yesterday night he went from Dr. Quinn, to Little House on the Prairie, to Melissa Gilbert, to the memorial show. Mentioned the date and the website. He's plugging it almost every other night.

 

[Jan]

He's plugging it almost every other night.

That's great to hear, thanks. When you mentioned it the first time, I made sure to email Lori Biggs to let her know. I'm hoping it'll be a huge success.

Yeah, but how many of Jerry's listeners are able to go to Hollywood? I hope it turns out good.

It was good that he was able to plug the show while he was talking to the guy from Days of our Lives, because some of his lady-fans might be listening. And the Babylon 5 fans are listening too. Sometimes I hear people calling in and saying they liked B5 before comming to the point of their call.
