    Default My Childhood Is Truly Gone Now

    I just found out that Alan Young (Wilbur Post) died. He was 96. I remember watching Mister Ed when I was just seven years old. I never got to meet him, but I will miss him greatly.

    I remember mr. Ed. I wanted a talking horse so badly when i was about 3-4. He was so cool.

    Alan Young was always great and always loved the show Mister Ed , The horse was a beautiful Palomino

    If you get a chance watch the original 1960s Film The Time Machine (not the remake)

    Alan Young was great as Mister Filby the Time Travelers friend

    Jim and I watched it last night. I've always loved that picture.

    Alan was in the newer one also.

    I was so jealous of my cousins. They had 2 foals when the show was on. They called the one Wilbur and the other Mr. Ed. they were pintos.

    I was a big fan and had been watching recently on the odd TV channels. So clever how they got the horse to move it's lip. I hadn't heard he had been ill. Thanks for posting this.
