Early 70’s: Chad Everett catches my pre-teen eye in the 70’s medical drama Medical Center, which ran from when I was 7 to when I was 14.
That’s an awful photo of Chad. Very dated TV Guide, though. Complete GOP Convention coverage! Blacks in Broadcasting!
Here’s my Chad:
80’s: I forget about Chad. I marry. I move on.
90’s: Chad goes grey and his appearance improves dramatically.
2000:
2010’s: The mother on The Kardashians is named Kris Jenner, who I confuse with Chris Evert (Why else would she be famous?) I think: that’s so odd. Why wouldn’t she change her name so she isn’t confused with Chris Everett, who was on that Medical Center show I liked so much?
Chad, we had grown so far apart.

Flies I tell you! and George Jefferson too.
Wow. He did age nicely. And yeah, I watched “Medical Center” or whatever the catchy title of the show was back in the day. Because of Chad.
Zayrina- Andy G, Sally Ride, Sherman Helmsley, and now we start another set of three.
Becs- kind of leathery though. Died of lung cancer.
I did enjoy Chad back in the day as well. And my dad allegedly worked with his mother (or at least in the same office) in Detroit. He mentioned it everytime his name came up. “hey, I work with his mother” kind of thing…but I NEVER remember him saying her name was Virdeen (as Wikipedia reports), I feel feel like I would have remembered that. Perhaps she was known as Ruth (a totally forgetable name).
Kristie – If my name were Verdeen Ruth I would go by Ruth too.
My name is Tania Ruth; I go by Tami.
Tami- You could go by “Truth” for short, instead.
