I heard some sad news on the evening news last night.  This will not mean
much to those of you who do not live in the Chicago area, but Bob Bell is
retireing.  People in this area know Bob Bell as "Bozo" from the popular
kiddy show "The Bozo Show".  Bob has been playing the part since the show
began ~23 years ago.

I grew up watching this show.  I still sit down with my kids and watch it
occasionally (kids are a great alibi).  I don't think anyone could do Bozo
like Bob.  This guy, and his character, seem like they have always been
there and it's one of those things that you think will always be there and
never change.

But life goes on.  Soon there will be a new guy playing Bozo, but it won't
really be the same for folks like me.  Even though we don't watch the show
anymore, people who grew up with it are probably still a little saddend
(remember when Ray Rayner went away).  So long Bob.
