MAY GOODBYES

• Being a person of the 70's I grew up listening to 8-Tracks and wearing Technicolor polyester pants. I also was around for one of the haydays of TV gameshows. Matchgame was a watchable time-killer with the obtrusive, sporadically funny Richard Dawson and the Bela Lugosi-looking, none-too-quick-witted Gene Rayburn. But, when I knew Charles Nelson Reilly was going to be one of the panelists, I knew that the show would be a cut above the others. Charles passed away in May and I will forever remember his comic aplomb and his self-deprecating "flamboyance." Hell, you have to give a great deal of credit to anyone who can make Brett Somers seem funny. - Todd
• Even though the Virginia Tech tragedy took place in April, we would like to remember the students and faculty who lost their lives that day. In this disposable world, it seems that people are already forgetting.
