Re my comments about Rickles. Checked Wikipedia and found a very good, comprehensive review of his life and accomplishments.

Served on a PT tender-boat( Navy) during WW2.
Appeared on TV throughout the 1950s, long before Archie Bunker was around. Also on a quiz show.

He’s the last man standing from “back then” and deserves the praise that he has gotten for his life and accomplishments.

A reason to adopt the Japanese custom of National Treasures.

He would turn that into part of his routine...lol

I just saw that Rickles and Carroll O’Connor went to the same high school.

Jerry Lewis is still with us, as well.
