Milbook..Thank you for that story...yes, we all have things to be thankful for and it should all begin with family.
I had the chance to spend several hours with Jimmy Durante aboard a 747 in the upper first class lounge going from L.A. to NYC....there were several of us. He never stopped..I mean ppl were rolling on the floor which I suppose encourged him more.
I was the sky marshall on that flight.
A wonderful Merry Christmas to you and your family...
