From a fellow member Los Angeles Breakfast Club Rest in peace, Darrell. In Heaven, I hear, you win the 50/50 drawing every week, and the ham and eggs are just as good as they are at Friendship Auditorium. Since you and Will Rogers are sure to share the Rooster's table up there, be sure to crack wise at holiness and hypocrisy alike. Keep an ear out for Wednesday morning quips, and be sure to let us know when we land a real groaner. Ham an' eggs forever!
