Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels and fans gather to attend the first 'statue-model' unveiling of local icons J.P. Patches and Gertrude

This design was later replaced for a better bronze version, now set and placed in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood - entitled: 'Waiting for the Interurban'

  • They both deserve so much more for all they've given us. Can't even imagine what that would even be.

  • Thank U! I Love J.P. Patches And Gertrude.... Man I wish i was little again...

  • jp patches a real class act

  • @ColonelCuster My funniest memory of the show was when JP warned departing guests to watch out 4 the hole, & you hear the scream as they fall into it anyway. In an email, Wedes told me that a number of kids were afraid to leave because of the "hole". When 1 of the guests "fell in", his kids cried until he got home.

  • I;ve heard about their knack for double entendre. I don't recall much of it myself from watching it as a kid, but I recall a number of laugh pauses b/n Chris & Bob, during which older family members were laughing too-& I had no idea what they were laughing at! Hats off to Wedes & Newman for keeping the show kid-friendly & adult sauve' at the same time.

  • You gave us all alot of great memories as the good guy.One of my favorites was the Bad guy... Boris S. Wart.

  • You made our lives brighter ! how can we ever repay you for the great memories ? we all love you so much J.P PATCHES & GERTRUDE !

  • Thank you! Thank You! Thank You!

  • Innocence is gone, it's all about how much money they can make these days. The true patches pals will never forget you. I watched him since 1957, my sister was on his show as a Blue Bird and as an adult Gertrude signed my cast. I'm so glad he finally got what he deserved a statue in the public eye. CONGRAT'S JP Patches and Gertrude

  • Way back in '66 I broke my left arm and wrote to J.P. Patches explaining the situation and he very kindly replied as well!!! Not only that, he sent me a photo of himself and mentioned the snafu on his ICU2 TV set. His chemistry with children is mind-bogglingly great indeed.

    WE LOVE YOU JP AND GERTRUDE!!!!!!!!!
