Rough Times In The Hundred-Acre Wood
Paul Winchell is BlogPulse's no. 2 bursty person today, for the sad reason that the 82 year-old voice actor and ventriloquist -- who was the voice of Winnie the Pooh's friend Tigger for more than 30 years -- died Friday. Blogger Susan Shelley, who calls him "a genius," remembers Winchell for his old children's TV show and laments that nobody can see it anymore. Winchell's life was especially meaningful for Joe Gandelman of themoderatevoice, who speaks highly of Winchell's skills as a ventriloquist. Now comes word that John Fiedler, the voice of Pooh pal Piglet, died Saturday. The blogosphere still seems to be processing all the news, but, to be sure, these are sad days for the bear.
