Sad news about Ben Hurst

[The Mysterious Traveller]

Man, that does sound like an intense dream.

But I'm glad that it's made you happy.

I wish you nothing but the best.

Interesting.... This is a case of be careful what you wish for. Just be sure to keep your own feelings in check. I am not trying to sound mean or anything but just be careful with this sort of thing....

Mumble mumble... monkey's paw... mumble...

That's certainly a very interesting dream there, 'Nique. Whatever the cause it makes me heavily wonder now... The type of afterlife, and what Ben is possibly doing in that life.



Note to all else: In the Tattoo, topic, 'Nique told you guys that I had talked with her on IM. And yes, we do have things resolved, and as it turns out we're patching up communications between me, her, and AKR. Or at least, that's how I've overseen things. Rest assured, I want to forget the past grievances regarding 'Nique and Ben Hurst and try and build bridges with those people that I can. So rest assured, we're all good. In fact, we're doing better.

I hope I'm not putting anyone out by bumping up this topic after so long but there's just something that I had to share with you guys.

I recently tracked down my favourite episode of the Wizard Of Oz animated series which I could remember having watched and loved years ago.

It's called 'Crystal Clear' and you can easily find it on Youtube.

Check out the beginning.

See who the writers for this episode were.

What a magical surprise. (Watch the episode too, it's awesome. Nahoban and his crew of 'hoppers' would've been right at home in SatAM.)

I viewed this topic carefully and I have to pay my respects to Mr. Hurst as well. Because of his efforts, this was my #1 show to watch on ABC. Gosh I miss pulling out the cereal and putting it on channel 5 in the 8:00, 8:30, and 9:00 a.m. slots. May Mr. Hurst's works live on!

Special credits to everyone involved with the show from 1993-1995. I will always respect them too!

I know I've been MIA for the past 2 years, having gone my own way and everything, but after running into Thony on the internet again and talking about this, I barely came upon this sad news just earlier today. I had no idea Ben had passed away months ago, which, really came as a sudden shock to me.

In anycase, having come out of forum hibernation, I wanted to come and pay my respects to the man who helped in putting forth this series for many to come and enjoy.

I remember, years ago when I was still in my teens, I emailed Hurst and we discussed writing, as well as some small amounts of literature. He shared with me some books he enjoyed, as well as one that he felt was very crucial for anyone who wanted to better themselves in writing.

It is a very sad and unfortunate thing to hear about at such a very late time, but at least it allows me the chance to meet up with old friends and see what has changed and so on.
