Peanut Gallery!

My wife Joanne was fortunate to have been in the Howdy Doody show's Peanut Gallery in the halcyon 1950s.  She also won the first Met Banner Day in the turbulent 1960s.  Some say she should also receive an award for navigating our family over our 50 years of marriage.

What Awards have you won?

The biggest award, borrowing from you, is Shelly and then Jonathan and Marisa but yeah I have a few and most get some mention on my website including sharing a Gotham "NotY" with architect extraordinaire "JZ".

So cute.

I've always told you, Joanne must be a saint. It really is an inspiration to see how much you mean to each other. I'm not kidding.

I was honored to receive the Red Bandanna Award! I covet that like you can't imagine.

I'm hoping to be inducted into the hall of fame as a Traveling Willbury :) with my backseat cohort, Corey!

Like Victoria, I think Joanne puts up with a lot, but she gets a lot in return! ☺️

And yes Cindy, the Red Bandanna award is by far the most amazing award I have ever won in my life. To be recognized by my friends like that was so humbling and so appreciated.

Bob Smith and Howdy Doo say Howdy Doo to you . What's amazing is Joanne came into my life in the third grade . Mrs Fuller I think . Joanne once said to me "Thank God somebody remembers my youth . That would be me . Awards ? I cherish my Super Bowl MVP and how it got me an " in " with Gisele. How about the 30 plus "Best Dad " awards I got on Father's Day ? The best award I could have gotten was from the Big Man upstairs who gave me another chance to move on and be a husband and dad and friend again .
