He's also the last one still alive? I think 🤔
Yes, he is the soul survivor of the Monkees and I spelled his last name wrong. It is Dolenz. Here is a clip of him on Adam 12.

Apparently it is. https://www.comics.org/issue/173447/
I don't know who he is.
Top right, he was the drummer and lead singer on most of their songs.

Ever listen to the "Hollister and Ives Sometimes Comedy Hour" on KEX? A couple of my high school friends wrote reviews for the school paper and we went down there and met Jimmy Hollister once.
I was super into old films in those days: went down frequently to the theater that used to be by Portland State - saw "King Kong," "The Most Dangerous Game" WC Fields/Mae West, and a bunch of Marx Bros movies there. Also went to a Halloween showing of the original "Phantom of the Opera" with live organ music in probably '75 or '76 at the Paramount (which, incidentally, is where I saw Devo, Bob Marley and the Wailers, .38 Special, etc).
Ah, shows at the Paramount. Grateful Dead, Eric Clapton, Alvin Lee, Jeff Beck, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Devo, The Tubes, Elvis Costello among others. No, I never listened to the radio show you mentioned but it sounds like the same vintage era. I know that theater that you are referring to, I used to go to midnight movies there like Dawn of the Dead and Eraserhead, can't think of it's name though, its long gone now.

Fifty years ago, there was a local show on Saturday night at 11 pm called "Sinister Cinema" featuring some local radio comedians. They showed horror films and would frequently run a serial episode before the movie to get to 2 full hours of run-time (with commercials). They never did run Superman or Batman but did have Flash Gordon and some others. Good memories.
Starring Victor Ives, Ravenscroft and Head who were local radio personalities. I loved that show! My brother and I would watch it after Portland wrestling, it originally aired at 11:15 PM with the serial and then showed a double feature Horror set. My parents would tell us to go to bed around midnight but I would often sneak back into the family room (downstairs) and turn the volume real low so my parents would not hear it in their bedroom (upstairs). The premier episode had a Flash Gordon serial followed by a double feature of Frankenstein and Dracula. Good memories indeed!

By the early spring of 1964 I had a morning Monday to Saturday paper route delivering the London Free Press from which I earned the princely sum of $2.76 per week. This left me sufficiently well off financially to actually buy some of the model kits that looked particularly tempting. The Aurora "Wolfpack" U-Boat featuring Jo Kotula's box art which I'd been admiring at Tuckey Hardware a couple of blocks away from my house became the first of about a dozen military model kits. Here's a photo of the one from my present day collection:
Right when I saw this, I thought of this-

I believe so. However, I have a box at my residence. If we go away and they hold my mail, I can't pick it up when I get back. There have been a few other times when I needed to pick up my mail and was denied by the postal rep.
That's weird. My wife works at the post office, whenever we go on vacation she puts a hold on our mail and when we return we go to a local distribution site (not a retail P.O.) and pick it up. Have you checked to see if your local P.O. offers this service?

No, we are not in a hub type area. We have asked multiple times and were told that no mail can be picked up. It all has to be delivered. I remember looking up the rules, and it seemed like they were breaking that one.
will they let you open up a PO Box?

Delivering the Valley Times was my first job. I "inherited" the route from the older kid who had it when he asked me if I wanted it. I learned a lot about myself, including that I had an unreasoning fear of large, aggressive dogs who liked to chase bikes. I don't know if this was a common practice, but I had to collect once a month from everyone on my route rather than the subscribers paying directly to the paper. I think it was $0.35 a month. That's how I found out I was too shy to ask people for money or overcome objections and would never be a successful salesman.
Valley Times? In Beaverton? I was a paper boy for the Community Press for 2 months. Suffered through the same anxiety as you did, however the Press was voluntary payments so I had many people chewing me out saying they were not going to pay and why was I dropping it off at their house in the first place? On my last day delivering I dumped all of my papers in a vacant lot.

Thanks Matt!

How would I go about changing the delivery address for my returned submissions? Would it be when I create the submission form or would I have to contact FedEx directly? I am asking because the last 2 submissions that I have received have been dropped off at my house, one on the driveway and the latest one on the front porch with no signature. I work days while my wife works nights, we have a dog that barks loudly when anyone arrives at the front door, yet the packages have been dropped off without her signature and that kind of defeats the idea of the signature required shipment. What should I do?

Sadly that's not true, 14/15 post offices completely failed their audits in regards to registered mail...lost keys, leaving cages unlocked during and after business hours, ALL post offices failed to keep accurate logs, registered mail being handed off with no signatures nor required ID, and the list goes on and on.
I wouldn't say that all post offices are guilty of this, my wife is a supervisor at a major sorting plant and is is certainly not the case there. Any registered mail I have ever received has required an adult signature, unlike a package from CGC sent via FedX that was left on my driveway with no signature, at least no one who lives at my address.

The solution seems rather simple: all employees are strip searched before and after entering the designated grading/holdering room.
If CGC were a cartel they could require all of their employees to work in the nude.

I watched the show as a kid, our family had the first 2 Monkee's records that we played non-stop on the old record player, you know the kind that had it's own case, until they were completely scratched. Fun fact, in 1967 the Monkees out sold the Beatles and Rolling Stones combined. Their first 2 albums were recorded by the infamous Wrecking Crew (studio musicians) with only the bands singing voices included. After that they recorded their own playing on successive albums. Here is a pic of Davy Jones and Mike Nesmith killing time with DC's on an airplane.
