One last Hi Yo! R.I.P. Ed.

Do you have specifics on Carson? I looked in “Stars in Blue” and there was no entry for him in the index, so I assumed he didn’t serve.

The Navy Log: Johnny Carson

May he Rest In Peace.

My prayers are with his wife and family.

Ed & Jerry were very good friends from what I have read......dang...most all the great comedians, actors and actresses I grew up are gone...bummer....not to mention one exceptional President....RWR

Growing up in the 80's, I always saw this guy on TV. I didn't watch Carson, but I remember him on Star Search (a lot better show than American Idol) and those American Family Publisher 10 Million Dollars giveways, and TV ads.

And I'll never forget the SNL skits of him. "You, are correct sir!" "Yes!" "Hey-yo!"

I wouldn’t generlize that far! :-) Another one to be aware of is Charles Durning. He’s also 86 and still alive. Check out his background...

I know about During. I just did not name all that I am aware of. As for generlize? Yup, I will. I don't like dimocrats. ALL ARE MY ENEMIES!! I have NO dimocrat friends. I do not know of any dimocrats in my church. No one claims to be one. My pastor preaches on the sin of homos and abortion. Couldn't hang around him and be one. He is SOLID against it. He does not like O-scuma either.
