    wow -- hard to believe he was still alive. 96. Not bad.
    Mr. Ed was a long time ago -- heck, Wilbur drove a Rambler, if memory serves!

    It was either a Rambler or a Nash? Wow, 96, that's a long life, R.I.P. Alan Young.

    Wow 96, good for him. When is the last time he was mentioned till today? He must have pointed his interests in something else after the 1960's. RIP Alan.
