Sorry about your loss. What great memories you have of him. Larry King was a legend. Every time I would go out to LA, I would be guaranteed to see him eating breakfast with his group of friends in Nate ‘n Al’s. I never wanted to bother him, but eventually decided to get his autobiography signed by him. He was very kind, graciously signing wit…[Read more]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JANE!!!
Thank you for asking! I’m in!I have been trying to juggle the many causes that capture my heart, but I need a focus. I’ve come to the conclusion that Climate Change is the umbrella that so many problems fall under. So, with a new year, 2021 (saying 2021 sounds really, really good), I will be funneling my energy into this…[Read more]

I hope you had a nice . . . quiet Easter. Just like you, I sure do miss those family and friend gatherings. I live in the Detroit area.

Thank you, Jane. It is going to take a lot to get out of this health and financial nightmare. I will pass this along to our legislatures for the future stimulus measures that will need to be taken.
