- Beth .... we all know that Ward and June are fictional. They were
- fictional in the 50's ... and they are fictional now. That life never
- actually existed and ... I definately agree with you that it would NOT be

- forbid there be anyone out there who would think I want to be June Cleaver
- .... AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Shoot me now!
