Larry 'Bud' Melman Dies

This story doesn’t answer the biggest question I have: who was Melman (Calvert DeForest) before Lettermen? He had a long life before David Letterman made him famous. So what was it about?

The saddest line in the story is the last one:
There will be no funeral service for DeForest, who left no survivors.

Damn, you know ... I read this post of yours and thought, "Well, hell ... how hard could it be to find out about Calvert DeForest's life?"

How much more wrong could I be? There's nothing anywhere ... other than the fact that he was born
July 23 1921, in Brooklyn, New York. That's it. For the first time in ages I'm speechless ... what did he do for the first fifty years of his life?
