The Adventures Continue
with George Reeves
November, 2003
1) BIG ED BULLOCK -
Al Eben, Big Ed Bullock in "Crime Wave" passed away
this past July. Born in Philadelphia on March 11, 1915, Eben
appeared in a number of films and television shows beginning
in the 1940. In addition to Superman, Eben appeared in
Petticoat Junction and the Beverly Hillbillies.
He last appeared in a 199 episode of Everybody Loves Raymond
as a lodge member in "Frank's Tribute." Eben was 88.
2) JIM BEAVER -
Jim Beaver is a writer, actor, and George Reeves fan. I'm sure
many of you saw him on a couple of the entertainment news magazines
when they presented segments on George Reeves' death. You may
also have seen him on Unsolved Mysteries in 1995. Jim
has appeared in several films and television shows including
the recent The Life of David Gale and Lois and Clark:
The New Adventures of Superman in an episode called "I'm
Looking Through You," one reminiscent of "The Phantom
Ring" from 1955. Jim was thrilled two years ago when he
became a father for the first time. He sent me pictures and bragged
about his wonderful daughter. Movie and television roles were
becoming more frequent. But about two weeks ago, Jim wrote to
tell me that his wife Cecily is being treated for a type of non-small-cell
lung cancer known as adenoma. It has spread to her sternum, lower
spine, and hip bones. Cecily, by the way, is the daughter of
Get Smart star, Don Adams. She is a fighter, and she has
the determination to defeat her disease. Still, both she and
Jim can use words of encouragement. Jim's e-mail address is jumblejim@prodigy.net.
Please don't bombard him with long messages, but if you'd like
to send brief words of encouragement, please do.
3) Noel Neill -
Noel is continuing her whirlwind tour of the United States making
personal appearances wherever she goes. Please check her schedule

Jersey, my former wife and I had dinner with her and Larry Ward,
author of Truth, Justice & The American Way: The Life
and Times of Noel Neill, The Original Lois Lane. We were
joined by Lou Koza, John Sheridan, George McGaffin, Steve Randisi,
and Joe Desano. You can see photos from that event on the Yahoo Group
