'Engineer Bill' Stulla Passes....
Bill Stulla who portrayed the beloved 'Engineer Bill' from 1954 to 1966 in the Los Angeles viewing area died Tuesday at the age of 97. In his honor we are republishing our most popular viewed archived blog post today which is from November 23rd 2007. We welcome your comments and memories of 'Engineer Bill' following the repost from last year's Thanksgiving Weekend 2007:
Whom Am I Thankful For? Part II Yesterday was the time of year that many Americans stopped, reflected and gave thanks... I was no exception to this as Tina and I got ready to go to my folks for Thanksgiving Dinner. I am thankful for many things during my life, which is why this is but Part II, but one of the earliest things I can remember from my childhood was when my dad was stationed in Long Beach. It was then that Engineer Bill (Stulla) hosted a kid's TV show on KHJ Channel 9 in Los Angeles. He was a favorite TV show host during the 1950's and 1960's. His show was broadcast on every week day about when school had been out for a while. What really stuck out in my memory was his 'Red Light - Green Light' portion of the show, where my brother and I would drink, stop, drink, and so on when he would say 'green light' for us kids to drink the milk out of the glass, and 'red light' to stop drinking! Some of the things that stick in your mind don't always make sense years later, but it was here that I found that drinking and eating what's good for you was fun! By the way, other local televised kid's shows of Los Angeles during that time were Sheriff John, Chucko the Clown, and Bozo the Clown. I don't remember many 'National' shows that I watched during that time but one for sure was Captain Kangaroo seen in black and white format.

He was a Great influence on us and will be missed! Our condolences to his daughter and family.
