    And perhaps the (untrue) rumor that Mr. Green Jeans was Frank
    Zappa's father will finally be laid to rest also!

    I watched him as a child and my children did also - it is hard

   NEW YORK (AP) - Hugh Brannum, for three decades the affable
farmer Mr. Green Jeans who wore green overalls, plaid shirt and
straw hat in his visits to television's ``Captain Kangaroo,'' has
died at age 77.
   Brannum died Sunday of cancer at Pocono Hospital in East
Stroudsburg, Pa., said Bob Keeshan, who played the portly captain
on the popular children's show that went off the air two years ago.

    Paul Amann is leaving this company on Monday - he's been down the pub
    all lunchtime and would just like to say thank you, for being the most
    amusing and imaginative bunch of guys(galls) in the world - there aint
    notihng like DEC, it's got it where it counts and that's in the people. 
    OK, OK, so I've criticised with the best of them, but what the hell,
    Digital has a good product, a good way of doing business and above all.
    it has fun doing it - chaps I love you.  Goz' you're all great guys.
    
    Cheers Paul.
