Thank you for that nice introduction. As old and presumably as experienced as I am I never hear such lovely words without thinking of my mother and wishing she could have heard them, too. Of course I know what her response would have been. I called her many years ago to tell her that the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences was starting a Hall of Fame -- and that the first inductees would be Bill Paley, and General Sarnoff, Edward R. Murrow, Paddy Chayefsky, Milton Berle, Lucille Ball and me. And my mother said -- “If that’s what they want to do, who am I to say?”
