We used to watch these on television or at birthday parties when my parents would borrow the 8mm films from the library. George McFarland, who played Spanky, spoke at Gustavus when I was a student. I had a conflicting work assignment in the cafeteria that night and was unable to hear his whole presentation. Spanky had some neat stories. He spoke about Buckwheat's career as a film technician and how simple speech therapy would have helped him out as a kid. Alfalfa's post-Our Gang troubles were covered along with the story of his killing in 1959.
