A great actor, and a good man. In later years he brought his talent and professionalism to the Pacific Garden Mission’s radio program “Unshackled”, where he continued to perform until just a short time before he “went to be with his Lord”. A really nice person. Nice to hear some of his life

I have been doing some research on former members of the Jack and Jill Players where Mr. Bivans got his start. A contemporary of his, Franklin W. Adams, played “Skippy” on the radio program of the same name later took over Jack & Jill from Marie Agnes Foley. Happy to have this information about another successful member.
