I remember they had a sense of humor that was a bit ahead of its time. More people have been effected by their humor than one might imagine. One of their sons (I don't remember which one but I can see his face) has a *successful career as a TV comedian (had his own TV series). That guy floors me.

But I've been wrong three times before! Ann Goulding, Ray's younger sister, went to same school I did ... she was a year or two behind me. In a link to an interview with Ed McMahon at speaking.com he mentions his early associations with WLLH and Lowell, Mass.
