Answer 1

I think it&#039;s spelled Eulle Gibbons, but I&#039;m not sure. I&#039;m pretty sure it started with an &quot;E&quot;, anyway. That&#039;s your man!

Answer 2

I remember him.  His name was Euell Gibbons.  Ironicly, despite his ultra healthy lifestyle, he died of an aortic aneurysm (heart attack) at a relatively young age (in his early 60&#039;s).
