Move over, Mama Rose: your guidance and efforts when it comes to persistence is mind-boggling. Sometimes I wish I had put forth that effort in my earlier business interviews for those finance jobs. Who knows what it might have led to?

But what I’m really eager to hear more about is your time as a telephone psychic when you had some downtime in NYC–waiting for my answer from Doris Day for over 50 years as to “Will I be happy? Will I be rich?” And now I know that you were the one who took all my quarters between those subway stops!

I was also there the very last night in Toronto and your documentation (literally by the minute) and the ten-minute standing ovation took me back to one of the most wonderful days in my life. And yes, I was one of the interlopers that disrupted your last dinner, but I did end up with a picture I’ll treasure forever.

Dan, you’ve written a masterpiece and a bible for all of us–not only for young actors like yourself but for aging baby-boomer accountants like myself. Now, if you could only teach me to lower my speaking voice a few octaves to sound like Quinn Van Antwerp so I at least sound authoritative to my colleagues!!
