| Barbara Shoemaker Posts: 1764 Joined: 4th Jan 2008 Location: USA | Posted at 15:18 on 23rd June 2009 I'm sorry, apparently the foreclosure news was from a year ago! I could have sworn I heard something more recently about how far behind he was on the mortgage payments. Anyway, last summer apparently Donald Trump offered to buy the house and lease it back to Ed McMahon as a gesture, not a business deal. But EM ended up selling the house to another, undisclosed buyer, so I guess that wasn't on his mind anymore. |

Sad to see him have to lose his house though...they make you spend your life earning what you have, the hard way most often, and then spend your old age slowly taking it away in every chance there is available sometimes. I wonder how long we'd all live if we didn't have to do battle daily for money to live on. Oldest person just died recently also at 113 and handed it over to another going to be 113, an World War I veteran. |
