New Member & Meeting Little Joe

Hello Everyone.
I am thrilled to join Bonanza Boomers.
I live 2 hrs drive north of Toronto, Canada. Considering I am a boomer at age 61, my teenage years were spent watching Little Joe and every Bonanza episode from the beginning of Season 2. I never missed one episode after The Gift and wrote a little summary of each episode in 2 diaries, which I still have to this day.
My greatest thrill was meeting "Little Joe" in person, twice, in 1965 when I was 17. My story can be found at http://landonlegacy.com/Meeting_Michael_01.htm. My most prized possession are the color pictures I took those 2 days and the memory of his kindness and graciousness toward me. He made me feel 'special', even though I was just a teenage fan.
So, I am looking forward to joining other Boomers such as myself who remember the excitement of watching Bonanza.
