I'd like to talk about your memories of that time. Sherman appearing in his underwear to say hi to sixth graders seems weird to me, and it fits in with other weird parts of his personality. You can email me privately at markcohen12@hotmail.com to provide contact information. Look forward to it, and thank you. Mark Hi Mike,

I don't know a lot but I can share a few memories. I grew up on Chantilly Road in LA, up the street from the Shermans. His daughter Nancy was in my 5th and 6th grade classes. He came to our fifth grade class (1963?) at Bellagio Road School and spoke to us for an hour about being a comedian, how to tell a joke and then reviewed some of ours (mine was a bomb but he was kind about it. His daughter, who was one of the class beauties, had a 6 th grade graduation party at their house and Alan came out in his underwear to say hi. I remember him as a warm and funny man. I happen to meet another class mate from that era who told me, as I recall, that Nancy is living in Utah somewhere. I moved away from LA in '65 and lost touch but was shocked when I read I he died broke and unhappy. It is very sad. I hope this is a little help to your work. Best wishes, Mike Mark,
