Yesterday CBS News called my big brother Lee about an email he sent 20 years ago. They want to be there on Thanksgiving day when we celebrate the 20th anniversary of our reunion.
It all started with his email. The subject line read, "Looking for my lost brother". On Thanksgiving day 1994, I rolled up on his house in Sacramento to a group of his neighbors, a CBS camera crew, and my big brother Lee and his wife Dorothy.
That first reunion was aired coast to coast. This time we hope to share it with all of you via the Internet. Who knows, you might see us in your TV while eating desert.
The Internet gives us the ability to connect across the miles and all the years. Making it happen takes more that ability, it takes responsibility.
My gift for your Thanksgiving is simple. Do you have someone in your life whom you are thankful for because they were born and that they live in this world? Send them an email, give them a call, even just a text message.
My wish for you is that this Thanksgiving, the holidays and all of the days of your life be Just Another Day In Paradise. I hope you're the one who receives that call.
Happy Thanksgiving!
