King of the Night page 7 by ric gustafson
My name is Howard Smith. Johnny Carson was a friend.
One day, I was eating lunch with friends at a golf club. My phone rang. I recognized the number. I walked outside. I called the number back.
" Hey Alex". I began to worry. " Sorry I missed your call".
" Yes Howard". The voice hesitated. " Thank you for calling me back so quickly".
" Alex, are you alright?". I thought for a moment. " Is John ok?".
" There's no easy way to say this". Alex's voice paused. " John passed away last night".
I did not know what to say. " I'm sorry Alex".
" You were one of the few people John told me to call".
She began crying. " I knew you and John were very close".
