I have been trying to find David. Last I talked with him, he and his 
family were coming thru Eugene. I missed his call. It is urgent that 
I contact him.

If you are able to contact his family, please have them pass on this 
email to David. I am sure he would like to receive it.

Thank you so very much.

Hi - looking for an old friend James Moll who took a TV / Commercial 
class with me from Lani O'Grady back in 1982/83 - thanks.

Hi Jon,

James directed The Last Days, a documentary about the Holocaust for which 
he received an Academy Award. I bumped into him in Central Park in '99 and we 
corresponded a bit after that. He's probably still in Los Angeles. You might be 
able to contact him through the Shoah Foundation, an organization that he's affiliated 
with. Good Luck.
Ingrid

If anyone knows anything about what happened to Tom Braden (Jr.), please let me 
know. I knew him in college but had lost touch long ago. I was shocked 
and saddened to hear of his death.

I was with David for about 2-3 years. Tom stayed with us for awhile. He was 
driving on a mountain road and was turning a corner in the other lane and was 
hit head on with a logging truck. He was killed instantly.

David has married and has a son, David Braden Jr. I too have lost connection 
with him. It has been 5 yrs and last he told me he and his wife and son might 
be moving back to the states. She has a masters in museum history.

Do you remember any of his sisters? They are all married and have different 
last names. I so miss David and wish to reconnect.

Glad I could provide some information regarding Tom. He still struggled with an 
addiction that probably played a large role in his death. He was a 
very friendly and nice man.

Was this the same Tom Braden who was on CNN's Crossfire?

No. That was Tommy's father. I am looking for David, a dear friend of mine 
who is the eldest son of the Bradens'. Tom Braden was on Crossfire, yes.

Is Tom Senior still alive? He was very good on Crossfire, then he just seemed to 
vanish. Thank you for writing back.

I've read both your mother & father's books & loved them, is your father still 
writing? I'm sorry you lost your mother a few years ago, she 
was a great woman. Tess Boyle

I don't believe he is still alive. Last I talked with David, 1999, he was 
ill and not expected to live longer.

I am not sure. I know Joan passed on a number of years ago. I know 
that in 1999 he was in fair health. That was the last I spoke with my 
friend David. Your very welcome. Yes Mr. Braden was very experience in the 
political arena. He once dined with John and Jackie Kennedy.....and 
Marilyn Monroe. Joan wrote about it in her book "Not enough rope" . Take care.

I live in Longwood Florida and just ran into Brian Patrick Clark at 
our grocery store (Albertsons). What a shock to see a celebrity in 
a small town store. I have been a fan since I was a kid and 
watched "Eight is Enough". Does anyone know where Brian Patrick Clark 
lives now? I am thinking he may be a resident of my town which would be so cool.

Oh my gosh, that is so funny! I also live in Longwood, and just saw Brian at 
my son's little league game..his son is on the same team. Brian and his wife 
were very friendly. He must live around here somewhere...probably in the 
Markham Woods area?
