Senior year at Warren for the W.C. Follies, Jay, Rick Ponton and Ric McBride, , each performing as Ed Sullivan, did a hilarious, threesome presentation--possibly the best comedic act I've ever seen. After college at a random gathering, Purdue grad Jay and I (IU grad) were talking about calculus, which I'd completed not long before. "It's used in everything!" we both said in unison! "Applied smarts & fun", that was Jay. Will always miss him.
