NAMES IN THE NEWS : A Brother Darryl Takes a Wife

<i> From Times Wire Services </i>

John Voldstad, one of the silent brothers Darryl on television’s “Newhart,” choked out the words “I do” at his wedding.

For years, the blond, chubby Voldstad only grinned when introduced by brother Larry as one of the two Darryls. The grin remained when he recently wed 20-year-old Kellye Fowler in Gadsden, Ala.

Voldstad, 39, met Fowler in August when he was playing tennis in a celebrity tournament in Macon, Ga., and she asked him for an autograph.

“She was spelling Kellye with a ye , and I thought, ‘Umm, that’s very pretty,’ ” Voldstad said in the July 2 issue of People magazine.

Fowler’s mom wasn’t too keen about the romance and--not trusting those Hollywood types--went along on most of the couple’s dates.

Fowler, who wants to act, appeared on “Newhart” as an extra before the show went off the air.
