That episode where Webster gets scared that Geroge and Mam are all dressed up for a function, cause those are the kind of clothes his parents were wearing when they were killed. That episode still chokes me up.

Pic of Karras in college at Iowa. Ironic that he dies at 77.

Sounds like he had a really tough couple of years, and that he was a really nice guy.

Kidney failure is a very rough situation. My mother in law had two kidney transplants before she passed away. It really beats up your body and your emotions.

I knew it didn't sound right. That's what I get for not checking IMDB first.

Ah I did not know that. I did know that the part played by Clevon Little was supposed to be played by Pryor.
