Ed McMahon...you will be missed.

I remember during the 70s I could not get enough of "the tonight show".  Who could forget that intro? "Heeeeeere's Johnny"!!! Ed McMahon who sadlly, passed away on tuesday may have been billed as second banana in "the tonight show" but he was a star in his own right. A combat Marine and Patriot he loved America and wanted everyone to succeed. He was much more than a TV personality-he was a driving force in creativeness and a true TV pioneer. He worked as a clown,announcer and on his show "star search" he launched the country group "Sawer Brown" as well as many others  who did very well in show buisness. He was very versitile. He did publishing commercials on TV as well as appeared with Jerry Lewis on his MDA telethons. I remember watching one telethon  when the counting board malfunctioned.McMahon walked over to the board and gave it a tap. The audience exploded in appause as the numbers of donations were displayed. Thank you Ed McMahon for being the unique gift you were and touching all of our lives....Marine rest well...Semper Fi.

Ronald Reagan-back in Washington!!

Last week a bronze statue of "the gipper" was unvieled in the US Capitol Rotunda. Nancy Reagan said it was a "wonderful likeness of Ronnie". A blue cloth cover was pulled from the 7-foot statue as a large crowd looked on in the Capitol Rotunda. Ronald Reagan was much more than the 40th President of our country. He believed in what truly brought hope, prosparity and was not afraid to tell it!! Trust in God, working principles of indavidual effort, and using our God given abilities were his bedrock foundation. It is not only the statue,but the principles of what works are returning as well. People are fed up with the "big"government that promises much but delivers very little.  It was Reagan who said that he believed there was "no limits to what Americans can do!! "Notice he did not say there was "no limits to what Americans can do with the governments help"!!Principles that work are not political--they work for ANYONE who has the guts and drive to put them into practice. God has given each and everyone of us abilities and gifts. These are as unique to us as our fingerprints.When we as INDAVIDUALS take the courage to launch ourselves by faith into an endeavor -truly amazing things can happen!!I believe in America. I believe we still have "the right stuff" inside us to get our country back on the right path. Ronald Reagan may be gone but what he believed in is alive and well.!!
