Love In Unusual Packaging

When Frank Sinatra died in 1998 at the age of 82, his longtime pal, the comedienne, Don Rickles was upset to find they had piped in Frank singing during his own wake. He felt it wasn’t solemn enough for such a man, expressing himself to Frank’s family.

  They still ignored the request to shut off the music.

  On the set of the TV show, The West Wing, a non-union extra needing to take a pill, helped himself to a bottle of water on the union craft table, where the snacks are kept.

  Non-union have their own table that is notoriously meager. The man in charge screamed at this poor guy, embarrassing him to no end.

  The actor Martin Sheen, playing the President on the series, got wind of this.

  He then having the influence to pass a new rule that…

 ANY ONE, UNION OR NON, CAN REAP FROM THE SAME TABLE.

When former President H.W. Bush knew he was nearing the end while his faithful Yellow Lab service dog, Sully, stayed by his side, asked that he not be given to his family as planned.

 He wanted Sully to help someone else in need, the same way this sweet, loyal 4-legged friend had helped him.

 That always makes me cry.
