He was 93. Live TV was a riot in the 1950s. Alex "Never express yourself more clearly than you think." -- Neils Bohr (1885-1962)

Could be because we didn't even have TV when Milton was making himself famous - d'oh! Sad (but not surprising) to hear about Dudley Moore though - had little idea of his musical talent til few years ago when I saw a series he did with Georg Solti about the orchestra. Amazing stuff. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

Uncle Miltie once wrote me a letter to tell me that I won honorable mention on a poetry contest and they wanted me to go out to California so I could get an award. I never made it because I was uninstalled at the time. I have it somewhere but since I am a packrat, I am not sure where it is or if I threw it away accidentally? Anyway I will miss him. I think we wrote two jokebooks last year before he died. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*
