Groovy guys and swooning girls of all ages congregated in Ballis Park Saturday to welcome 60s teen idol, Greg Brady, or as he prefers to be called, Barry Williams to Council Bluffs' Family Fun Day. Williams travels the country performing his comedy presentation "Growing Up Brady: I Was A Teenage Greg," at colleges, theaters, fairs and festivals.

He mocked the early days of the Bradys, but with much affection, reflecting on the four successive decades of Brady hysteria beginning with the first day on the set, TV specials, music and cartoons up to the most recent big screen spoof "The Brady Bunch Movie" and its forthcoming sequel, "A Very Brady Sequel."

"I like the show because it pokes fun at the Bradys, but then again, so do I," Williams said.

He said that he will not be appearing in the sequel, but all of the cast members of the first movie will, including Shelly Long, who played Carol Brady. Speaking of Carol, Williams came clean as far as rumors of his secret affair with his TV mom, played by Florence Henderson, were concerned. "It all started with the Geraldo Rivera Show," he said. "I confessed to a secret crush that I had on Florence, then she called in and said that she had one on me as well." Williams said that the following day, USA Today, People Magazine, The New York Post and the Los Angeles Time were accusing Williams and Henderson of having an affair. "I did go out on a date with her," Williams admitted. The two had dinner and saw a show together. "I was only 16, and she was married and had four kids," he said. He did, however, manage to sneak a good-night kiss. Williams also confessed to his very short-lived romance with Maureen McCormick, who played Greg's sister, Marcia, on the TV show, stating that the pressures of the roles that they played prevented them from taking it any further than one "very romantic" kiss.

Decked out in his love beads, headband, fringed leather vest, shades and platform shoes, Williams relived his "Johnny Bravo" days with the help of some participating audience members. "Become the Brady you always wanted to be," he said to them After teaching the audience a few of the most famous Brady dance steps, Williams pronounced the participants honorary Bradys for life.

Williams later opened the show to questions from the audience. One man asked Williams' opinion on the Brady family values opposed to today's family values. "The family values that the Bradys had can teach us a lesson," he said. "But I'm starting to see a swing back to this, so I'm encouraged."

Williams ended his presentation by singing the song "God Bless the U.S.A." and dedicated it to America in celebration of it's 220th birthday and Iowa for it's 150th.

Before stepping off the stage to sign autographs, Mayor Tom Hanafan presented Williams with the key to the city on behalf of the families of Council Bluffs. "I am gonna see if this fits any cars in the parking lot," Williams said.
