In my area, the Masons are the only active fraternal order. I’ve never heard of it, so there must not have been a chapter near me. This is a fraternal organization that saw a decline in membership during the 20th century. I was curious as to what this place could be and a quick Google search found it to be the meeting place for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. June states it is in the basement of the Oddfellows Hall. Wally, Eddie and Tooey come downstairs as they set out for a meeting where they can join the Boy Scouts. Ward and June exchange newspaper sections and a close look at the section exchanged shows a different headline than “High Winds Sweep City”.

The former actor, who was then an LAPD officer met with the theatre manager and requested it to be taken down.

Meanwhile, the rumor regarding Osmond's stint in the porn industry grew like wildfire when a Los Angeles movie theatre put up a marquee with the writing "Eddie Haskell of TV in 'Behind the Green Door' – X-rated," indicative of Osmond’s role in the adult film. Finally, I got a T-shirt that said 'No, I am not Eddie Haskell'.

He had his family gathered around him when he passed. Ken Osmond, the 'Leave It to Beaver' actor who was popular for playing the iconic role of Eddie Haskell, passed away on May 18 at the age of 76 at his home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Shadow Hills, California, from complications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
