Red Skelton was one of a kind. He could find humor in everything, and he did not need to resort to crude behavior to get laughs from his audience.

This is a nice story and I thank you for posting it. I remember he often mentioned Valentina on his show. I never knew about his son, Richard. Perhaps it was too difficult to speak of Richard. His sorrow must have been great.

His short speech about the Pledge of Allegiance should be required listening for each person in this Nation.

Not to mention a real American. Look up Red and the pledge. I wish Mark Levin would play it s
at the beginning of every show.
