1. A class move by the Fonz.

13. He's a classy guy

I still remember when I was in school and Happy Days was the one show all us kids watched, and then talked about the next day. Years later I met Winkler when I was working at an art gallery in LA. He was easy to talk to, really put people at ease just like you were talking to a neighbor. I guess you could say - he was cool.

2. Love Henry

The Fonz was such a great character. So kind!

[Botany]

3. What a good man.

He told KABC he is donating much of the proceeds of the sale to a non-profit his daughter Zoe started with two friends that helps separated and recently reunited families at the US border.

4. Is that the one he jumped the shark in? nt

5. I'm sure wardrobe had more than one.

But still, a class act by The Fonz. 👍 Heyyyyyy.

7. When Carroll O'Conner died they found Archie Bunker's

green plaid coat in his closet. It was the only one.
Of course, he didn’t wear it in every scene for 10 years.

Archie’s chair is in the Smithsonian.

12. I've seen it.

This was years ago. I'm not sure if it's still on display or in storage. There are a couple of generations who wouldn't know who Archie Bunker was.

8. It's the one he kept, I'd imagine.

Henry's straight up, I don't think he'd offer something that didn't have real value.

[SergeStorms]

11. Oh, I agree with you there.

It was his favorite, for sure.

6. Isn't there one in the Smithsonian?

[ShazzieB]

9. Yes. But there were others.

The story says at least 7 were purchased during the run of the show, which makes sense to me, considering how long it was on the air.

[Javaman]

10. Ayyyyyy. nt

14. You don't see Ricky Schroeder

donating a silver spoon or anything of value. What is Chachi donating?

[TexasBushwhacker]

15. Schroeder would donate an AR-15

Scott Baio would donate golf clubs. He hosts a charity golf tournament every year that benefits HIS foundation.
