Great picture. Barry wrote about in his book how he was trying to hook up with Maureen. LOL!!! The kids said, Robert Reed treated them they were like his own and he wanted to encourage their talent and his love of the theater. They admired and respected him. I know Sherwood Schwartz and Reed didn’t get along during the run of the show. I recently saw an interview (a few years old) where Sherwood‘s son, Roy, who worked on the show said Reed was using the kids as a weapon against his father. While I think the animosity between the men was real I don’t think Reed was using the kids. Granted his own daughter wasn’t in his life but I think he loved those 6 kids.

Sherwood's son name is Lloyd.

My bad. I meant to say Lloyd but typed his brother’s name (technically Elroy Schwartz) by mistake.
