    In a world overfilled with disconnection and negativity, CBS Sunday Morning restores my faith in the better part of humanity. Thank you Bill Geist. Your work over the years has been a gift which we can only return with genuine appreciation and the fact that you've connected us in ways we could not otherwise do. Vaya con Dios amigo

    What a treat to see the US through Bill's eyes. It will be fun to look through all these old episodes at times when the current realities are hard to bear. It dawned on me, part-way through...could he be Willie Geist's dad? Soon that was confirmed when a young Willie popped his head in, looking for a ride from his dad, at maybe 15 yrs old.

The one story about the time where you went to the Heart Attack Grill in Arizona was one to never forget, so I appreciate that, too. Remember like it was yesterday and I'm glad you survived that Quadruple Bypass, too. So, Bill, Farewell and all the best to you and your whole family.
