I first met Mr. Ed several years ago, a fortunate benefit born out of my friendship with his daughter Debbie and her husband David Ellis. His presence and personality filled the room. A tall, impressively built man, who possessed a strong Irish accent and recited one-liners with the style and ease of Rodney Dangerfield can do that. Mr. Ed could also command one’s attention with a stern look and a quick pivot in the tone of his voice that suggested the mood had changed. He was suddenly serious – or at least pretended to be, to make his point.
