That's really too bad. I'm embarrassed to say I didn't recognize the name until I saw a picture of him... then I remembered him from his TV days on "Little House on the Prairie".

My sister watched it, OK! Stop lookin at me like that... :)

Next thing you'll say is that you don't know Deacon Jones or Rosie Grier. Dude!

I guess it's okay to admit here that I imagine Rev. Alden officiating at his funeral. +RIP
