    A world without Jerry Lewis... Somehow I thought he would live, and stay young, forever. Really hard watching how in the last few years he really did age. Well, someday he'll be with us again. If you believe in God you know what I mean. Oh how I want to meet him then ! Jerry you will always be a treasure.

    It's interesting to watch the development of the tote board. I really hated the tote being presented painfully slowly, digit by digit from the end of the number. It's not like there was suspense. You knew that another million was coming up, so get to the point, I always thought. You can also follow the condition of the US economy and the size of the network that commenced coverage of the telethon at 9pm EDT versus later, as it changed from year to year. Sometimes it took them little over an hour and a half to reach a million; sometimes two and a half hours.
