Hi KH. Yes, how true. But it is difficult for me as I know him and his
family, I have had many happy times chatting with them, and you are so
right, his acting was superb, but unfortunately voices have to break,
young have to progress to old, (even Mephi and I LOL) children must go
into adulthood, and yes, the world has not seen the end of this person,
and even as I type his replacement has been chosen, so let us see his
successor as the Phoenix rising to stardom. As Billys father said when
he realised that he must help his son to achieve his wishes, "He could be
a star, for all we know, We dont know how far he could go". Well he
became a star, and we know how far he went, and we know just how much
farther the journey will go. Out of this comes renewed faith in the
younger generation, because when children so young can achieve this, and
remember they are the future, then there is still hope for the planet. By
the way, nice to see you still kicking around.
Mercury.
