Can't do clever on this one. Incredible sadness consumes me. I cannot tell you how much Dobyns and Ellerbee on Overnight made my late nights (after I got off work) more livable. He was a great, period, end of story. May his memory be a blessing to all.

Sigh. https://nypost.com/2021/08/25/lloyd-dobyns-jr-peabody-award-winning-tv-newsman-dead-at-82/ MEBANE, N.C. — Lloyd Dobyns Jr., an award-winning NBC News correspondent who reported from places around the world and who anchored an innovative US television newscast in the early 1980s, has died, his family said. He was 85. Ken Dobyns said in a statement that his father died Sunday in Mebane, North Carolina, northwest of Raleigh. He said his father suffered complications from a series of strokes.
