Our family had driven from Wisconsin to L.A. in December '59 to visit my dad's brother and attend the Rose Bowl game. My uncle's neighbor was Harold Wirthwein, sales mgr at Allied Artists. Wirthwein got us passes to either AA or 20th Century for an informal tour and to visit the Gillis set. While we waited outside the door to the Gillis set up rides Bob Denver on a bicycle. At that point the whole family was hooked on the show, nearing the end of its first season. Denver was as cordial and natural as the boy next door. We were enchanted. He leaned his bike next to the door and escorted us in. We stood in the shadows and watched, utterly absorbed in the goings on.<br /><br />The scene included one of the only two episodes Dabbs Greer played in, as Zelda Gilroy's dad. During a break, Mr. Greer walked over to us to and greeted us warmly. He looked so familiar my dad said, "I feel like I know you, but I don't know your name. Greer laughed and said he heard that a lot. <br /><br />For years I'd thought he was James Gregory (there's a resemblance), but just now, searching the episodes for Gregory, I found out who it really was. <br /><br />Many thanks, Ed, for posting this, and yes, I will be ordering the boxed set! <br />Mathew Pausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157135006791553019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-35901738011412816052013-01-24T17:19:42.710-08:002013-01-24T17:19:42.710-08:00Would love to see one about now.

I'm of that generation, you as well I suspect, that when one mentions Bob Denver, I think of Maynard G.
