1. He has an On the Road segment every Friday evening on CBS and then repeats on Sunday Morning

He has the best human interest stories that are inspiring, happy, and some put me to shame because of how much a 90 year old has accomplished compared to me. He never disappoints 🤗

3. I thought he looked familiar, no surprise, since I used to work with CBS

And my Dad was the dog lover in my family, my mother was the one who needed convincing since she never grew up with pets. But she came around pretty fast and for me, that puppy was a dream come true!

6. Same here, LOL. My Dad was the photographer in my family when I was a kid, including sending photo Christmas cards

Which were always of us kids - and the dog (who always was closest to me)!
