That is surprising. As one who was watching TV in the 1950s, I remember more than that. I checked and confirmed that there was only one season of 39 episodes of The Honeymooners, but see that Joyce Randolph also was in 79 episodes of the Jackie Gleason Show as the character Trixie Norton. I'm sure some of my memories are from those. I think the Honeymooners was a recurring skit that was a part of the Jackie Gleason variety show. Variety shows were very common back in those days.
Later played for the Phillies. He and Pete Rose got into a fight in the 1973 NLCS but would later be teammates. Kind of like Jim Thome and Rheal Cormier years later. According to Wikipedia, Rose and Harrelson avoided discussion of the fight unlike who Thome and Cormier who discussed it publicly together before reporters and at the end of doing so, laughed it off and hugged it out.
Arno Penzias, codiscovered Big Bang's afterglow. On a personal note, his wife was a guidance counselor at the middle school I attended. I was aware that her husband was a Nobel Prize winner but I never really knew what for until now.
Arno Penzias was one of the “eminences grise” that advised the establishment of the New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology - where I worked for that organization’s first couple of decades. I’m getting old, they’re all passing on (Penzias, Baker, David). Thankfully, Shirley Jackson is still with us.
Good memories.
RIP.
