Well, I didn't have an "in person" brush with velvet, but 
				back in 1988, I'd read that Danny Bonaduce was a DJ at a Philly 
				radio station.  This was pre-internet of course, so I had always 
				wondered what had happened to Jeremy Gelbwaks, & why he left the 
				show, because rumours abounded that he'd been killed with those 
				giant plastic "clackers" balls.  So I wrote to Danny and I asked 
				him if Jeremy was dead.  He sent me back 2 autographed photos, 
				one of him as Danny Partridge, and one of his current head shot, 
				and he wrote, "Joanne, I Killed Jeremy! Danny Bonaduce".
