When teaching at Grossmont Community College, I had the privilege of just that. One of my students happened to be the daughter of Red Skciton. At the end of each Provo City's 146th Birthday Celebration will be at the Provo Senior Center Monday, during the luncheon. Entertainment will be provided by Leo and Edna Prows. see his brother John. J suppose he must have, because Jim Belushi is a star in his own right now. His brother John is gone, having died of a drug overdose. I'm sure Jim will not succumb to the sarrte.temptations. At leastl hopa&edoesn't. When Ozzie Smith was playing shortstop for the San Diego Padre Baseball team, his Utah Pioneers and the Provo all-st- There .may have been many A Backward Clance . ; ; program, he would mention his ' daughter and say ' 'goodnight' to her. At that time, Jimmy Durante used to close his program with a "Goodnight, Mrs. Kalabash!" He never divulged who Mrs. Kalabash was , or whether there really was a Mrs. Kalabash. Any way, Red Skelton's daughter, who was married now and had a daughter of her own, lived in Alpine, Calif. About five years after taking -- the class in Telecommunications, she called me for advice to give her daughter who was contemplating getting into TV . I told her she had it made with her grandfather. And that the best thing she could do was to ask him for advice and help. Another student of mine was Jim Belushi, brother of John Belushi who was making it big in Holly wood. Jim asked my advice about starting in Hollywood. Again, 1 had to state that the best method was to more students who were related to famous people, or who became famous, but J cannot .remember at this time. My Grossmont classes numbered from a 100 to a 160 students, so forgive me for not remembering all of them. Yes, being a college professor has its perks, and J would recommend to anyone with a skill or talent, to enter the field of education when one is through in his field. That way, the students can get their information from one who has performed in his field.
