Not to be confused with sep11:Donald Adams.

Re: the paragraph on Emmy Awards. Three was not the record at the time (Don Knotts won five for his work on The Andy Griffith Show, for instance), so I edited this paragraph to reflect that. AnDrew McKenzie 18:25, 2005 July 31 (UTC)

addition

Perhaps a filmography would be appropriate?

a comment

The section GET SMART is unreadable! I hope there is someone knowledgeable on the subject who could rewrite it with clear sentences, using correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and syntax.

USMC drill instructor

The biography of Adams on IMDB says that he joined the marines, served in the battle of Guadalcanal, was ill for a year with blackwater fever, and became a drill instructor after recovering. And that makes sense, given that he was either 16 or 18 at the beginning of 1942, small, and inexperienced. So I have changed the sentence that stated that he was a drill instructor before serving on Guadalcanal.

Sean Adams

I edited the page a few weeks ago to reflect that Don Adams's son, Sean, is deceased, and my edit was reverted without explanation. I'll be glad to cite an obituary for Sean Adams if somebody disputes that he's deceased.

I'd be interested to see an obituary - Google doesn't seem to show up much info on Sean, and no info at all about the fact that he is deceased.

Here's a Usenet post about Sean's death: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.obituaries/browse_frm/thread/584fa283cf0cf4ef/99e9a7b4ab5bf58e?lnk=st&q=sean+adams&rnum=1#99e9a7b4ab5bf58e 68.38.127.139 00:11, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is Sean's Wife...

I did not post an obituary, as Sean and I were awfully sick of his family's life in the media spotlight and tended to shy away from it. Yes, this information is accurate that my brother in law, Jim posted. Sean passed away June 28th, 2006 at 6:52am while holding my hand. He went very peacefully, with his sisters (Stacey, Beige, and Kenya) and I by his side. He is deeply, DEEPLY Missed.
