Well, In my Humble Opinion, this narration by DVP should be Titled, "It's a Wonderful Life"..(All apologies to the Epic Film from "46 which starred Jimmy Stewart). Anyways, it's plane to see that Van Patten enjoyed life & his dedication to having a "Good" work ethic & taking care of his family was his "Passion". He realized at a very young age that Things will NOT always go the way you want them to BUT with Determination & Drive, 1 can always accomplish & attain the things that you want.. Loved the fact here that his interest in Sports was shared with his Sons etc, & have to give "Props" that He had the Opportunity to Meet the man who was Labelled "The Greatest"...Cassius Clay AKA...Muhammad Ali!!!!! ( "Float Like a Butterfly-Sting like a Bee"!!!)-(LOL) Anyways, Very Entertaining Audio Clip by DVP!!! ******
Haha, somehow I knew you'd get a kick out of his encounter with Muhammad Ali! My favorite part of this chapter was hearing about Dick and Pat taking in their nephew Casey. They were newly weds at that time, so that was quite a life altering, last minute decision but an extremely loving and unselfish one to say the least! Casey was Joyce's only son, she had him at 17 with her first husband. Then she had Talia 8 years later with her second husband Martin Balsam.
