Doogie48084 is correct! The role of "Spanky" was played by George McFarland. Not Robert Blake.

Butch was never a dentist. His name was Tommy Bond. He used to sit in his wheelchair and sell autographed pictures at flea markets in Southern California. I used to see him frequently and talk with him when I lived in San Diego. He died around a year ago. He was a great guy.

**I just looked up the biography on "Butch". Here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Bond

Micky Daniels, after his childhood stardom wound up working construction.
He worked for many years with my father as he traveled the world building military bases and other large projects. Somewhere I have one of Mickey's id badges from when we knew him in North Afica.
He did not get any better looking with age.
