Durward Kirby

When I was a kid, it was a treat for me to be able to stay up late enough to watch CANDID CAMERA from time to time. Too young to recognize the inherent smarminess factor, I relished the stunts that Allen Funt and sidekick Durward Kirby shared with the audience each week. Little did I realize at the time that Kirby was, in fact, born in my own hometown. Last week, I noticed for the first time the historic marker seen here...just about four blocks from where I'm typing this even now!
