WOW! Watching O'Reilly (forgive me- I'm bored)
anyway- saw his appearance played back by Bill....
WOW! I am so very impressed with him. His courage is beyond anything I would have ever given him credit for...
His appearacne was flashy or over done.. it was just simple and honest... blew me away.... WOW!
I hope he continues to have his speech come back to him. That has to be horribly frustrating. He was always a good guy. I remember him back in the late 50's doing Bandstand out of Philly. He was always very pleasant and unpresumptious.

Bandstand began as a local program on WFIL-TV (now WPVI), Channel 6 in Philadelphia on October 7, 1952. Then it was hosted by Bob Horn and was called Bob Horn's Bandstand.On July 9 of 1956 the show got a new host, a clean-cut 26 year old named Dick Clark. When ABC picked the show up, it was renamed American Bandstand, airing it's first national show on August 5, 1957. The show was moved to Los Angeles in 1964. From 1963 to 1987 Bandstand was on only once a week, on Saturday. Briefly it was part of the USA Network with new host David Hirsh but went off the air in 1989.
Saw it for the first time on BOR too. I was very touched and proud for him. Those who are offended are the ones with a problem. Want to cover their eyes at the afflicted. I am more embarrassed for them than Dick Clark. He is fighting hard. We should all be cheering him on!!
