Goodbye, Uncle Zeb, you are fondly remembered

Carl Bartholomew, best known to adults in Eastern Oklahoma as Uncle Zeb, passed away yesterday at 78, according to an article at KTUL-TV in Tulsa.  The reason I say best known to Adults is because he was best known to kids – when we were kids.  From 1969 until 1979, Uncle Zeb would host the Cartoon Camp watched by thousands of children from all over northeastern Oklahoma.

I didn’t live in Oklahoma very much of that time, I mostly lived in Florida and Texas.  The way I came to know Uncle Zeb is during my summer visits to my aunt and uncle’s place.  Every summer, my brother and I would spend practically the whole summer in Oklahoma and give my parents a much needed rest.  Mostly rest from my little brother because I was so perfect.  One of our favorite shows was the Uncle Zeb show.

Of course, he had other duties at the station as well, including promotions director, but we kids didn’t know that, or care for that matter.

So, goodbye Uncle Zeb, you are fondly remembered.
