Death to traitors

I saw this on TV in 1984 and remembered it as one of the great TV moments of all time. I looked for it for years before I found it here - thank you for bringing it to us. The real test of talent is this: Our Lucy has been gone since 1989 - and no one has come along to replace her. That's how ...

What great photos!

A Great and Noble King who married so well his wife became a Great and Noble Queen. Well done sir!

HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was entitled to a bow from every man and a curtsey from every woman, excepting the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. Though not seen here, The Duchess did not curtsey to Queen Elizabeth - Windsor did bow; The Duchess did curtsey to the Queen. Clearly she was wi...

Thought this was supposed to be traditional. Immediately the priest starts with the "you" addressing to Our Lord in the Collect for Purity.

"The Thunderer" and "The Great Communicator": both are the class of their field. And with wives like Wanda Toscanini and Nancy Davis, both men were blessed.

The greatest actress of all time. She did more for whiskey voices and white hair than any woman who ever lived!

Our irreplaceable Ella and Satchmo have been gathered into Heaven for a good while now. We love them, we miss them, but we can still hear their perfect style, rhythm, swing, and irrepressible joy in every note. There is a reason that big perfect diamonds are so valuable....it's because they onl...

The First Lady of Song - 24-karat as usual! You know, it's easy to forget just how beautiful Dinah was - and that girl could sing too!

The Once and Forever First Lady of Song. There has never been a contender for the title. Won 14 Grammys; awarded America's highest civilian honor, The Presidential Medal of Freedom the citation of which calls her "The First Lady of Song"; winner of the National Medal of the Arts; honoree of the...

The One and Only First Lady of Song. There has never been a contender for the title. God Bless you Ella: I love you and I miss you.

I forgot to mention that Ella is also known as: The Chair Professor of Scat Singing!

Since 1938 known as The First Lady of Song. There has never been a contender for the title. Now and Forever - The First Lady of Song!

God bless you Ronnie. I love you and I miss you.

Ronald Reagan was a lucky man to have such a wife!

You know, it's a shame the first part of this video isn't shown. This was Ronnie's first appearance after being shot. When he showed up at the door of the House the place went absolutely wild for the longest cheering I ever heard - proud of a man whose bravery and good humor in adversity had en...

Ronnie is riding in the Presidential railcar "Ferdinand Megellan

God Bless You Ronnie! I love you and I miss you!

I was a soldier when this aired and I cried like a baby. Thank you Ronnie - I love you and I miss you. You are the greatest president of my lifetime and I will always remember you with pride and love.

I shook hands with him in 1972; voted for him; trusted him. Turned out that although he was a brilliant politician, he was so crooked he had to screw his pants on in the morning. One of the great disappointments of my life was to realize the president I supported had lied to me continually.

I voted for Jesse even though I didn't always agree with him....but I always knew exactly where he stood on any issue. You don't have to always agree with someone to respect them. When Jesse made his mind up, he was immovable. You can respect a man who means what he says.

There isn't a baseball player today with Joe's charisma or class. When he was off the field - suit and tie - always watched his language, just a great role model for boys growing up. The Yankee Clipper? Sure. But I think he was The Classy Clipper!
