Maureen McCormick (Marcia, Marcia, Marcia) was in an episode of _ **Love Boat** _ with Bobby Sherman. Maybe Beck was remembering that. I had a crush on Bobby. I had an album of his. Don’t remember which one, but I think it had a blue cover. ---

Marge Simpson had a crush on Bobby Sherman, [much to Lisa’s amusement.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WtElHY0d1k) ---

My sister was a big Bobby Sherman fan. I once violated one of her Bobby Sherman albums by drawing a beard and mustache on it. I did like him in _Here Come the Brides_. ---

I loved Bobby Sherman. LOVED HIM. Had a pile of Tiger Beats under my bed so I could gaze upon him without moving. Poster of him on my bedroom wall. My parents to me to Summerfest in Milwaukee so I could see him in concert. Peace, love, and Bobby Sherman. ---

Is that Davey Jones or Walter Koenig on the left? I have trouble telling them apart. (No offense to Davey, but I do hope Walter is still alive.) ---

I watched “Emergency” as a kid. Was utterly glued to what they were doing and why. Alongside some real-life situations as a teenager, this show guided me towards joining an upstate New York volunteer ambulance corps and eventually sitting for and getting my EMT Certification. Kudos to Mr. Sherman for being similarly inspired. I respect the decades of public service he brought to California.
