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.

From the Green Room: A Not-So-Anonymous Gambler

DateThursday, April 8, 2010

Mohegan SunToday we head up to the amazing Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort for the 2nd Annual “Imus at Night” event.  We’ve done many live remotes from the Wolf Den there and believe me, it’s not an example of Imus hyperbole when he describes how fabulous that place is.  It’s like a beautiful, hyperkinetic planet, with what seems like 10,000 shops and restaurants and about 90 square miles of table games slot machines.  It’s like Adult Disney World.  You’d think Gangsta Mickey would fit right in here, except his low-rent, low-rider sensibilities are really more suited to the ten-dollar hooker, nickel video poker, and urine-stained carpets of Atlantic City.  Mohegan is the gold standard.  If all the hotel casinos in Vegas were like Mohegan Sun, Las Vegas would be so busy it would have to secede from the union and become its own country.

One of the myriad great things about Mohegan Sun is there’s so much to see and do even if you don’t gamble.  Which I don’t do very well.  I still haven’t grasped the concept that, in Blackjack, having the most points isn’t always a good thing.  I regularly hit on 20, a strategy that, while making me a very popular face at the table, runs through my bankroll at an alarmingly fast rate.  I have a hard time grasping the concept that my 30 does not beat the dealer’s 19, when mathematically that is the case

I’m not much better at Roulette, where my system involves putting a chip down on every single number, including the 00, which insures a win on every spin but also blows through my stash in no time. 

I’d be in favor of adding some new card games to go along with Pai Gow, Caribbean Poker, and Texas Hold ‘Em:  Five dollar Go Fish, ten dollar Gin Rummy, and no-limit Steal the Old Man’s Bundle.

I guess I have to get used to the idea that, despite being Allman Brothers fan, Lord,  I was not born a Gambling Man.   A fact which seems pretty clear when you consider that my Final Four was Vassar, Nassau Community College, The Culinary Institute of America, and Apex Technical School.
