As for the "Church Lady". . . As a former Fundamentalist, I can't exactly claim that I "like" her, and yet, there is a reason why the character is so enduring.

Terry Sweeney may, indeed, be the player that I am remembering. As I said, I found him so unnerving that I don't feel like looking him up just to confirm.

Thank you.
