Eddie Albert passed away at the age of 99 on the 26th. I heard this on NPR today. I remember him from my childhood. May he rest in peace.

I was quite shocked to learn he was 99 years of age. RIP Mr. Albert.

Just read from your link. The NPR report we both heard yesterday was incorrect. He would've been 97.

I also was shocked! Of course, had not heard anything about him for well more than a decade. So, sorta forgot about him.

And, you're right about the age. I didn't catch that. At the least, there's a 2 year decrepancy. Could also be the prob is with the WEB site.

Needless to say, the Green Acres are classics. I haven't seen them in a while... but I'll still look for them.

UPDATE: I guess we have a 2 year difference between WEB sites also...

But, most are leaning towards 97...

All the news agencies are correcting to 97 as of this morning
