Ed McMahon

I'm taking a break from all the tragic news stories in favor of an obituary story on Ed Mcmahon (ironic, no).  Well, I remember him fondly.  I am just old enough to have caught the tail end of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and watched Star Search religiously.  Much to my parents' dismay, his friendly grandpa-esque face is what got me to nag them to apply for the million dollar Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes- if we won, he'd show up on our door step.
