VA_ Avenger, you're practically royalty! Who's this nephew of yours with the connections? It's clearly Dave Cox http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0184983/ Very good! A detective in our midst.

Three degrees of separation

I have only three degrees of separation from Diana Rigg:

Diana Rigg was in
Julius Caesar with
Robert Vaughn, who was in
Baseketball with
My nephew Dave, who was in
a home movie with
ME!

Does that count?

:wink:

Interesting indeed. Even more interesting is that 22 years ago, $5.95 was relatively expensive for a box dinner. That translates to $11.14 today.

Mona, You read my mind, and posited it more eloquently than I. I may have to take you on retainer. :wink: I saw a serious connection between Steed and Purdy that was beyond crush, beyond mentor and student, beyond collegial. Perhaps it was there, or perhaps it was me thinking: "Blimey, Steed! Y...
