I agree Rick! I think we all are pretty special in our own right. It is a shame that we all don't get the "Star Treatment!" My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

In fireball xl5. Way out in space together. Conquerors of the sky. My heart would be a fireball. A fireball. Every time I gaze into your starry eyes. We’d take a path to Jupiter and maybe very soon. We’d cruise along the Milky Way and land upon the Moon. To a wonderland of stardust. We’ll zoom our way to mars. My heart would be a fireball. A fireball. And you would be my Venus of the stars.” My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Bob T Posts: 934 Joined: 8th Jan 2009 Location: USA	Posted at 23:30 on 19th January 2009 LOS ANGELES: Bob May, who won a cult following as the Robot in the hit 1960s television show Lost In Space, has died of heart failure. He was 69. May died at a hospital in Lancaster, California, said his daughter, Deborah. May's entertainment career spanned more than 65 years. He was already a show business veteran who had worked as an actor and stuntman in movies, TV shows and on the vaudeville stage when he was tapped by Lost In Space creator Irwin Allen to play the Robinson family's loyal metal sidekick in the hit series that debuted in 1965. "He always said he got the job because he fitted in the robot suit," said June Lockhart, who played the family matriarch Maureen Robinson. Although May didn't provide the robot's distinctive voice (that was done by announcer Dick Tufeld), he had a devoted following of fans. Lost In Space was a space-age retelling of the Swiss Family Robinson story. Survivors include his wife of 48 years, Judith, two children and four grandchildren.
