Jerry Lewis

I have long been a fan of Jerry Lewis.

I remember when his Muscular Dystrophy Telethons were on a major station.

This year there was a record 65 million raised for MD. I think it's great that with all his health issues that he still participates in the telethons. I thought he looked well this year too.

Many years ago I went to see him in Damn Yankee. It was fun to see him live.

During one point of the show, one of the other actors called him Mr. Lewis instead of by his characters name, and they all cracked up laughing, and so did the audience.

He is 82 now and I hope he is around for while yet!

My husband watched some of it this year, I don't think I was ever in the room at the same time it was on.
