the mystique
of noise
white and otherwise
and optical illusions
of day & night
and in our minds
when silence
becomes too oppressive
take time to
hear the
music
(Miss Calif. 1944)

Jason Evers
Born January 2, 1922
New York City, New York
Died March 13, 2005(2005-03-13) (aged 83)
Los Angeles, California
Occupation Actor: Wrangler and Channing
Jason Evers (January 2, 1922 – March 13, 2005) was an American actor.
Evers was born Herb Evers in New York City, New York. After quitting high school to join the United States Army, Evers was so inspired by stars like John Wayne (whom he would later appear with in The Green Berets) that he decided to try acting. A stint on Broadway led to Hollywood, where his first big break was the 1960 television series NBC series western Wrangler. In 1963-1964, he starred as 41-year-old Professor Howe in the 26-episode ABC drama Channing, based on life on a college campus, with co-star Henry Jones (1912-1999). Evers’ most enduring role derived from the 1959 B-movie classic The Brain That Wouldn’t Die, which was not released until 1962.
In 1966, Evers appeared on the episode “The Insider” of NBC’s The Road West starring Barry Sullivan as the patriarch of a family of pioneers relocated to Kansas. From 1967-1969, he appeared sporadically as James Sonnett, the missing son sought by the Walter Brennan character, Will Sonnett, in ABC’s The Guns of Will Sonnett. Dack Rambo co-starred as Evers’ son and Brennan’s grandson, Jeff Sonnett.
Evers continued to garner parts in films and television, having guest starred with Bruce Lee in the Green Hornet episode “Eat, Drink and be Dead” (1966), but they were of an increasingly minor nature. His final film appearance was in 1990 in Basket Case 2. He returned to New York in his later years. He was married to actress Shirley Ballard from 1953 until his death in 2005.
Evers died of heart failure in Los Angeles, California. He was survived by a sister and a cousin.

What a sweetheart! Nice poem too.
Indeed and lets hope we hear much more from her
I just spoke with her and she said she will give us more! She hasn’t written since her husband Jason died….so happy to have inspired her to pick up the pen!!
Yeah, Lisa–put the “squeeze” on her for more poetry. (Lord help me, you’re rubbing off on me, L.A. woman. Every time I see a mention of a fruit or juice in a poem or anything else I think of the Juice Bar now.)
Terrific poem. Inspiring lady! Brava, Shirley!
