This Isn’t Our Last Love Letter 

   
Dear Don Don,
 
Way back in 92

I walked into the room and knew

Never felt this way before

I shook your hand while gazing into your eyes

And the feeling grew

As I took a seat I knew

A love that would have my heart

Forever

I knew

Way back in 92


They say love at first sight doesn’t always last or isn’t true

We were the exception to that rule

Our love had no where to hide

A spark set fire

As if this is how the universe started


I never doubted our love or what we could do

Together we grew

Forming a bond everlasting

That became our glue

My euphoria was YOU

I’m eternally grateful for the love and life we shared

For how fortunate we were :

“to have and to hold
through sickness and in health
Til death do us part”

Until we are together again

This isn’t our last love letter

I love you with all my heart and soul

Yours forever,

Deirdre  (Mrs. Hank Snow)

I’m fortunate to have fallen in love with, marry and make a life with the sharpest, coolest, funniest, most rare, bad ass, tender loving, loyal man on the planet, my husband Don Imus.


A True American Hero

 

I don’t know why it has been so hard for me to write about my dear friend Don Imus.

I certainly know what he meant to me, my family, my charity, my hospital and the millions of fans that listened and loved him for so many years.


I keep reading all the beautiful condolences that people are writing about how much a part of their lives were effected by listening to him over the years.

But what most people don’t talk enough about is what he did for all of us.

 

In every sense of the word, he was an American Hero. His work with children with so many different illnesses and his dedication to their future was unmatched by anyone I have ever known or heard about.

Besides raising over $100,000,000 for so many causes, he took care of young people for over 20 years in a state where he could not breathe.  Along with his incredible wife Deirdre, he created a world where children were not defined by their disease. That was a miracle! He was a miracle.

 

I will miss him ever day for the rest of my life.
I was blessed to be a part of his and Deirde’s life.
No one will ever do what he did.
I love you Don Imus - A TRUE AMERICAN HERO

A Tribute To Don Imus

Children’s Health Defense joins parents of vaccine-injured children and advocates for health freedom in remembering the life of Don Imus, a media maverick in taking on uncomfortable topics that most in the mainstream press avoid or shut down altogether. His commitment to airing all sides of controversial issues became apparent to the autism community in 2005 and 2006 as the Combating Autism Act (CAA) was being discussed in Congress. The Act, which was ultimately signed into law by George W. Bush in December of 2006, created unprecedented friction among parents of vaccine-injured children and members of Congress; parents insisted that part of the bill’s billion-dollar funding be directed towards environmental causes of autism including vaccines, while most U.S. Senators and Representatives tried to sweep any such connections under the rug.

Don Imus Leaves a Trail of Way More Than Dust 

Don Imus Was Abrupt, Harsh And A One-Of-A-Kind, Fearless Talent

By Michael Riedel - The one and only time I had a twinge of nerves before appearing on television was when I made my debut in 2011 on “Imus in the Morning” on the Fox Business Channel. I’d been listening to Don Imus, who died Friday at 79, since the 1990s as an antidote the serious (bordering on the pompous) hosts on National Public Radio. I always thought it would be fun to join Imus and his gang — news anchor Charles McCord, producer Bernard McGuirk, comedian Rob Bartlett — in the studio, flinging insults back and forth at one another. And now I had my chance. I was invited on to discuss to discuss “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark,” the catastrophic Broadway musical that injured cast members daily.

Anthony Mason

Anthony Mason is the co-host of "CBS This Morning: Saturday" and CBS News' Senior Business Correspondent. He is also a frequent contributor of cultural stories to "CBS News Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood". Mason has spent more than 30 years as a television journalist. In a quarter century as a correspondent for CBS News, he has reported from more than 30 countries and won seven Emmy Awards.

 

Mason joined CBS News in 1986. He was assigned to the London Bureau from 1987-1990 and traveled extensively, reporting for all CBS News broadcasts. He went into Afghanistan with the Mujahideen guerillas to cover the Soviet pullout; reported from Pakistan on the assassination of General Zia ul Haq and the rise of Benazir Bhutto; and went to the front lines in the Iran-Iraq war to witness Saddam Hussein's use of chemical weapons on the Kurds. He also covered the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.

 

In 1989, Mason was the first journalist to report on the exodus of East German refugees through Hungary as the Iron Curtain began to crack. He followed the story to Czechoslovakia and Poland as their communist governments collapsed. Mason's work on the story won him the prestigious Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Journalism Award presented to CBS News for its coverage of Eastern Europe.

 

From 1991 to 1993, Mason was CBS News' Chief Moscow Correspondent, where he reported on the coup attempt against Mikhail Gorbachev in August 1991, the rise of Boris Yeltsin and the demise of the Soviet Union, coverage which won him an Emmy Award.

 

Mason was named CBS News' Business Correspondent in 1998. His series, "Life and Debt in America," which aired on the "CBS Evening News" in early 2008, underscored some of the problems that ultimately led to the financial crisis and won him another Emmy. At the end of 2008, the business website Marketwatch.com named him the "Broadcast Journalist of the Year." Marketwatch.com's media critic wrote that Mason "personified a dying art in the media today: explanatory journalism. Night after night, Mason took pains to help his viewers understand what was unfolding on Wall Street and in Washington - and, most important, why they should care."

 

Mason hosts the annual "Money Issue" for "CBS News Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood", in addition to serving as a regular contributor. He has profiled politicians (Bill Clinton), business leaders (Henry Paulson), and musicians (Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney and Keith Richards.) His series on crime writers - he profiled more than 40 of them over a decade - won the Raven award from the Mystery Writers of America.

 

For the past decade, Mason has also been involved in election coverage for CBS News, providing exit poll analysis during the primaries and on election night.  

 

Prior to joining CBS News, Mason worked at KJRH-TV in Tulsa, Okla.; WCAU in Philadelphia; and WCBS-TV in New York City. Mason was born in New York City and is a graduate of St. George's School and Georgetown University (B.A. 1980). He and his wife, Christina, have three children and live in Westchester County, N.Y.
