Not to be confused with sep11:Donald Adams.
Re: the paragraph on Emmy Awards. Three was not the record at the time (Don Knotts won five for his work on The Andy Griffith Show, for instance), so I edited this paragraph to reflect that. AnDrew McKenzie 18:25, 2005 July 31 (UTC)
[edit] addition
Perhaps a filmography would be appropriate?
[edit] USMC drill instructor
The biography of Adams on IMDB says that he joined the marines, served in the battle of Guadalcanal, was ill for a year with blackwater fever, and became a drill instructor after recovering. And that makes sense, given that he was either 16 or 18 at the beginning of 1942, small, and inexperienced. So I have changed the sentence that stated that he was a drill instructor before serving on Guadalcanal.

[edit] Sean Adams
I edited the page a few weeks ago to reflect that Don Adams's son, Sean, is deceased, and my edit was reverted without explanation. I'll be glad to cite an obituary for Sean Adams if somebody disputes that he's deceased.
I'd be interested to see an obituary - Google doesn't seem to show up much info on Sean, and no info at all about the fact that he is deceased.
Here's a Usenet post about Sean's death: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.obituaries/browse_frm/thread/584fa283cf0cf4ef/99e9a7b4ab5bf58e?lnk=st&q=sean+adams&rnum=1#99e9a7b4ab5bf58e 68.38.127.139 00:11, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
