it's a tribute page to Ed and Mike (both in Italian and
English).

And here's the direct link to the pict in question:

Jim, do you know if Ed's daughters were exposed to much
UFO fandom? And if so, what did they think about all those
crazy UFO fans wanting to meet their father? :-)

On my website, I've got a photo of UFO fan-thrown birthday
party for Ed in 1976. You can see Ed's son and daughter(s)
in the photos. For example:

The woman second from left looks like Jane Skinner to me.

Of course, I could be making that up.

I can only speak for myself, but I don't care to know all the "inside juicy"
stuff that went on in an actor's life. You father-in-law was a great actor
who gave us a lot of pleasure and was excellent in a series that remains one
of the most interesting and enjoyable in science-fiction TV.

Every family deserves it's privacy and you have been very kind to share what
you did. I just hope your wife and sisters-in-law know that their father was
appreciated by many people around the world.

Wendy

Hi Jim,
If I'm not intruding too much, may I ask you if you're married to Jess,
Serina or Gina?
Thanks,
teresa

Neither, I nor my wife nor either of her two sisters
is in that photo. If that photo was taken in 2000, as
the link tends to imply, the four of us were all in
our early thirties.

I don't identify any of the females, I'm sorry I could
not be of more help.

About the photo, I was there as well and I think you should at least
recognise your sister in law Gina, sitting at that table.
I'll see you in Napton.

This is TRULY BIZARRE in view of the revelation that this guy is not known to the Bishop family! I mean he actually describes the family as "introverted" and describes the impact of "divorce" and the "death" of a child. What did this guy want from Ed's fans? I know everyone does some silly things at some stage in their life, but this takes the cake. I'm speechless. If he wanted attention, I'm sure a psychotherapist would give him some.

The short answer is "not really."

We were all too young to comprehend that kind of thing
when the series was on the air and after a short run
like that (26 episodes)the "frenzy of reknown" as they
called it was well worn off, mostly gone, by the time
we were in our teens in the 1980's.

However, not completely though, as George (Ed) was
still a working actor and the family lived in the UK a
lot of the time where UFO was FAR better known than in
the states.

The two divorces hit Serina , Jessica and Georgina
hard-top that off with their brother's death and
family home in a village, not in London proper, and
you have a pretty introverted family in general.

So in high school they did have a "claim to fame" but
the girls never told me any extraordinary stories
about
that.

I wish I had a ton of inside info to tell you- juicy
stories, but in all honesty I don't.

Today, we live a unknown existence dividing our time
between Newport RI, and London.

Regards,

Jim
