October 11 - Sam Bobrick Died

Sam Bobrick died in hospital last week after suffering a stroke. He pursued a short-lived career in song-writing - despite claiming he was tone deaf and didn't play any instruments - and co-wrote Elvis Presley's hit "The Girl of My Best Friend". He wrote more than 40 plays but was best known for creating the popular high school sitcom, which ran between 1989 to 1993.
