I'm thinking of the actor and game show host Richard Dawson who died today. What does he have to do with Glenn Abbott? This; In the first year of family feud, I remember Richard asked the question "name a famous Glenn" Some family member instead of saying Cambell or Miller, must of been a big baseball fan said "Abbott". Richard just chuckled and needless to say the answer got the buzzer. I did know of Glenn Abbott at the time but apparently the survey did not.
