The reason that scene always set every young child on edge was because as the camera captures Eddie walking into the boys’ room, you see him messing up Beaver’s hair, or punching him on the arm and while never shown, probably kneeing him in the groin. While Ward could have put an end to all of this, his complicity in maintaining Eddie’s ruse—even while knowing it was a ruse—was and always will be a black mark on parenting. We all know Eddie Haskell’s in our lives. They type of person who ingratiates themselves with power but whose depth and abilities are most times lacking.

No indication of the cause was given. https://www.avpress.com/news/actor-who-played-eddie-haskell-dies/article_43db66ea-996e-11ea-ad87-d3525dc14efe.html 1/3 5/20/2020 Actor who played Eddie Haskell dies | News | avpress.com “He was an incredibly kind and wonderful father,” son Eric Osmond said in a statement. “He had his family gathered around him when he passed.

Eddie was the best friend of Tony Dow’s Wally Cleaver, big brother to Jerry Mathers’ Beaver Cleaver.

  • Packet #44 for All of Our Dear “When Swing Was King” Friends
    The latest from Denny & Claire, Being hunkered down by the all the quarantines and lockdowns and closed places of business recently reminded me of one winter in my Colorado childhood when I was chomping at the bit to get outside after a snowstorm followed by several days of freezing cold. As often happens on the Front Range, a dramatic swing in temperatures can occur within hours and, in this case, once the sun came out, the dry snow began to melt and Mom agreed to let me venture out into the backyard for a little while. Of course, I’m sure she didn’t give me permission to go outside without a coat (and in a short-sleeve shirt, no less!) but I did just that and still survived. Score anther point for a boy’s adventurous spirit. But I must confess that this photograph does present a mystery to me. No, the mystery is not why I’m sitting on the clothesline pole reading my Boy’s Life magazine. For whatever crazy kid reason, I did that with some frequency. And not only my magazine but, from the local library, books by Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Jules Verne. Or maybe Kon-Tiki, the Raffles stories, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Johnny Tremain, Robin Hood, or Sink the Bismarck. No, the real mystery is I can’t figure out who would have taken the picture. Certainly not Mom. Like I said, she wouldn’t have abided me being, what she would undoubtedly called, half-dressed. And my older sister? No way; she didn’t have much to do with me in those days…except that it seemed like she considered it an important goal of her life to snitch on me when I was doing something wrong.
