February, 2009

Hey all!
2008 was a busy year with the publication of my autobiography, Timmy’s in the Well.  The good news is the first printing is completely sold out.  The bad news is there is a slight lag between printings while we switch publishers.  Back to the good news -- there will be a new printing most likely by April.  I’ll be sure to let you know.
    
I traveled quite a bit last year and decided to make my new RECOLLECTIONS page a compilation of the year’s activity.  I spent a month in Branson, MO at Silver Dollar City and had a ball.  Arizona, North Carolina, Florida, Colorado, Michigan, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York -- It was great to meet so many of you and I have more coming up for 2009.  Be sure to check my APPEARANCES page throughout the year.

We were finally able to adopt a new dog on December 5th.  Buddy is part wire-haired dachshund, part Jack Russell and all lover.  He’d been terribly neglected and is still healing, but he is happy to be with us.  Laurie and I are head over paws about him.  As a matter of fact, I’m writing about the experience for my new column in Fido Friendly Magazine, a national travel and lifestyle doggie magazine.

I appeared twice on The Early Show on CBS last fall…once alone:

and once with 3 other ‘50s TV icons you’ll all know.  This you have to see:

Make sure you sign my GUESTBOOK so I can let you know what I’m up to.  And btw, my guestbook can be finicky…something to do with individual spam filters. If it won’t go through, just send it to: jon_provost@juno.com  It may take me awhile, but I eventually answer everyone personally.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all my friends and fans for the love and support.  These are tough times and it’s great to know we have people like you to depend on.  Laurie and I want to wish you the best of everything in 2009.

Best,
- Jon
