“One More Thing, Sir…” by Michael Sloan<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

How did I learn about Michael Sloan and his body of work? Let me start from the beginning. I had a crush on Melissa Sue Anderson when she was on Little House on the Prairie in the mid 1970’s. I joined her fan club and sent her some gifts (a bell) during that time. When I went to school at UC Santa Barbara to get a BA in Film Studies, I was working and going to school so I didn’t keep up on Melissa’s career during that time. I spent a lot of time going to all kinds of movies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to 2005 when my wife created her fan website about River Phoenix, http:\/\/www.myriverphoenixcollection.com\/<\/a>. In 2006, I thought to myself, who would make a good choice for a fan website. I still had my Melissa Sue Anderson fan club membership, letters, and signed photos in a box. I started collecting and recording everything that Melissa acted in. In 2007, I created https:\/\/www.melissasueandersonfan.com\/<\/a>. I was fortunate enough to meet Melissa in 2010 and 2014. It was a great experience. In 2011, I created a page with information about Michael Sloan and his body of work, https:\/\/www.melissasueandersonfan.com\/Michael%20Sloan.html<\/a>. I also added a page about his mother, Paula Stone<\/a> and grandfather, Fred Stone<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book starts with Michael’s process of getting his first American television script read and produced. He came up with a television story for the TV series, Columbo which was eventually called “Now You See Him” I watch Columbo in the morning at work and have become a fan of the show. This is the third time that I’ve seen Jack Cassidy play a murderer.<\/p>\n\n\n
