1413 In the local fish wrapper
After purchasing a few items to get us through the week-end at the local walk-to market, I spotted a photo on the front page of The Beacon. The caption read, "Last weekend, the son of actor Richard Thomas (John-Boy on "The Waltons"--far left) married Besty Burkett of Fremont. The rehearsal dinner was held at Mon Ami and the reception was held at Catawba Island Club." I'm guessing the extra woman in the photo was Alma, the groom's mother, although John-Boy is the only one identified for certain.
So I googled and found it here. Turns out his name is Richard Francisco Thomas*, and her name is Betsy, not Besty. When you are the "son of" people forget to mention your name, even if you are the groom. Sounds like Fremont was all atwitter expecting celebrities from the Fonz to Bette Midler.
*Seen at a fan site: "Although Richard Thomas is the fifth generation of men to have the name "Richard Thomas" in his family, he's not Richard Thomas V. Rather, each son named Richard has a different middle name based on the first name of his maternal grandfather. So Richard Thomas is "Richard Earl Thomas" after his mother's father, and Richard's son is "Richard Francisco Thomas" after his ex-wife's father."

La verdad es que me siento muy sorprendido de ver esta foto de Richard Thomas y Alma Gonzales, ya que tengo curiosidad de saber por qué se separaron. Ellos se conocieron en su iglesia, se les ve muy felices en las fotos con sus 4 hijos, a él se le ve muy feliz con ella y se ve que es una dama. Y luego vemos que a un año de divorciarse de ella, teniendo hijos en la adolescencia, él se mete con una mujer que tiene dos hijos de diferentes maridos, que ni guapa es, y encima tiene un hijo más adelante con ella. ¿Qué pasa con algunos hombres que no saben valorar a la mujer decente, madre de los hijos de uno? ¿Cambiar a una dama por una cualquiera? ¡Qué pena! Es un gran actor, nadie va a quitar su enorme valía profesional.
