    Did you know Allen Ludden is an Ellsworth!!! His Father 's name was Elmer too, plus he is really related, A cousin of our beloved Colonel.Our Colonel would have been flattered by care for him, but How many Elmers lived to keep their name clean as he did. Oh well. today is a day to start.Mr.Ludden's mother married Mr. Ludden after
    Elmer had passed from the 1918 influenza outbreak.His whole name is really Allen Packard Ellsworth Ludden.
