MEMORIES OF LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY. CINDY WILLIAMS R.I.P. SHE WAS 75

By Craig Shemon

Sadly, Cindy William passed away at the age of 75. Williams is best known for her TV role as Shirley in Laverne and Shirley. Laverne and Shirley aired on ABC in the 1970’s as a part of classic wholesome evening sitcoms that aired at the time. In fact, the show came from a TV lineage that included Happy Days, Mork from Ork and Joanie Loves Chachi. Classics then, however not all stand the test of time. But they were the real deal for Americans at the time. Much simpler times, in fact.

You younger folks may want to sit this one out.  But we will look back in time today with Laverne and Shirley trivia on Wiki-Pete-ia during Shemon and Sheppard on ESPN Southwest Florida.

In fact, we play Wiki=Pete-ia for prizes every weekday at 4:45ish.  Just be caller number nine at:  239-337-3776 or 239-337-ESPN.   You’ll be a prize winner and get a chance to take on Pete with trivia.  If you are not lucky enough to be caller number nine you can still play at work or at home with your friends and family.  The questions and answers are below.
