6 out of 10. I should have done better! But, I got Raymond Burr's middle names right!

I got half of them right. I second guessed myself on the first question, so I restarted it to go with my original thought. The other ones I got right were Lucille Ball, Dick Van Dyke, Florence Henderson, and Henry Winkler. Now that I think of it, I think I heard Ozzy being "Gilligan" or Bob Denver's middle name, but I have no idea why I was thinking it was Hendrix. Some of my answers are pretty shameful now, I thought Rod Serling had an embarrassing middle name like Elizabeth. Ha, ha, ha!

8 for 10. I guessed on 5 of them. Ray Burr was Canadian, I doubt his parents named him
after an American rebel. After the Revolution, over 1/4 of US population fled to Canada
as they were Loyalists, whose homes were burned or stolen or bought for a pittance.
Hence Ontario's motto regarding "remaining loyal". Not one of the USA's proudest
moments.
