News Tidbits:

• Sad to hear that Randolph Mantooth has died at the age of 80. He was best know for his role as Johnny Gage, a paramedic in the TV series Emergency! for six years (1972-78) with a audience that averaged 30 million viewers each week. Wikipedia: “At the time of the series’ world premiere in 1972, there were only 12 paramedical units in North America located in four municipalities. Ten years later, more than half of all Americans were within ten minutes of a paramedic rescue or ambulance unit, due to the influence of the show.” Emergency!
