Thank you very much for your deserving tribute to Dick Clark.
I had the privilege of knowing him for some years.
He was one of the most gentlemanly, caring, humane and unselfish people I have ever met —our community is worse for his passing.
In a rampantly uncaring society, his unparalleled dedication to the local youth was always carried out in a meaningful, modest manner.
An example to all.
Bertrand Russell was commented: “Remember your humanity, forget the rest.”
I like to think Dick in his own way tried to emulate that.
I for one am very saddened by his demise. My most sincere condolences to his family.
