True, it was mentioned in just about every story I have read from every major news outlet. I'll believe it when I see it. Hilly isn't the best of health right now. Apparently he's being treated for lung cancer. Compared to about a year ago he looked very frail yesterday, his hair was gone and he's walking with a cane. I hope he's alright. I heard today that they already took the trademark awning off of the building. I'll probably be seeing that soon...and I'll probably need the Kleenex at that point.
