  2. He's the guy who did the voice of Frosty the Snowman in those 1960's era Christmas shows? ;-)

  3. Kirby, I believe you are referring to Jackie Vernon, the comedian, who did the voice of Frosty the Snowman for Rankin/Bass.

    ...and no, it's not heem.

  4. IIRC, he came to my elementary school in the guise of a clown. He could draw a perfect circle. He was more famous (back then) for playing another clown …

  6. It’s Willard Scott. He was the original Ronald McDonald. He had another clown gig (don’t remember the name, sorry), and in that guise he was on the elementary school assembly circuit. He told us he was also Ronald McDonald, but we didn’t have a McDonald’s in town for about a decade.

    This was in the same time when Mickey D’s was advertising 2 hamburgers, fries, a coke and change back from your dollar (singular).
