Terrible shock news about Pete Shelley. Many members will not have heard of him, this sort of music gets little radio play, but take 2 minutes to listen to Pete's voice now, coz if ever there was a song lyric that applied to GH members, this one is it.

RIP

Marshall was the first woman to direct a film that grossed more than $100 million, the first woman to direct two films that made more than $100 million, and she was only the second woman director to see her film Oscar-nominated for best picture.
“Laverne & Shirley” ran from 1976-1983 and proved an enormous success for ABC. It was the No. 3 show on television in 1975-76, No. 2 in 1976-77, and No. 1 in 1977-78 and 1978-79, spawning ancillary revenue in the form of merchandising, a record album, and an animated series based on the show.

I remember watching this show every week. She made the show.
