Edward Kean - Wrote for "Howdy Doody"

Edward Kean was a long time writer for the "Howdy Doody Show" which ran on NBC from 1947-1960. He wrote the iconic theme song which millions of Baby Boomers sang as they watched the show.

Mr Kean died on August 13, 2010 at a nursing home in Michigan of complications from emphysema.

He is credited with much of the show's writings and the expression "kowabunga" which has been used by Bart Simpson in "The "Simpsons" animated comedy show.
