Three wonderful people from the game show world:

Nipsey Russell
Ralph Edwards*
Debralee Scott



Debralee's death was a real shocker when she passed at age 52. ohno:



*Ralph Edwards would give a young man the biggest break of his broadcasting career named Bob Barker who would become the new host of "Truth or Consequences" in 1956 and that 'other show' everyone's familiar with that is still going strong today! :lol:

Ralph would make an annual telephone call to Bob on that anniversary each Dec. 31 and would get together for a little lunch and to reflect on their careers.

Sadly, Ralph passed away this year and that annual visit the two would have will not happen. ohno:
