Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you
Woo, woo, woo
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson?
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away

I got to interview him 54 years ago as part of my "high school cub reporter" program at WDAF TV in KCMO... during his "Mr. Coffee" advertising days. I didn't ask about either baseball or Marilyn. We stuck to his post baseball pitchman career.

Incredibly nice man.
