My dear Dad never regained his speech after his major stroke. To this day he can't talk. I'd give anything if he could do what Dick Clark is doing tonight...So yes, Dick continues to be a positive role model as his fans age..

My Dad lost his speech after his stroke also....but, he died two days later..he wasn't much of a "talker" so that wouldn't have bothered him that much...but, he couldn't swallow either...and he LOVED to eat...so he would have been miserable being on a feeding tube the rest of his life.

I just asked the question...but, I see your point about a "role model". I think he is brave man....I just don't think I would have been so brave.

God Bless him -- he's a trouper.

Get well, Dick...
