I’m a great L. A. Dodger fan, and of course, a fan of yours as I listened to you for years. You are missed in the booth. I most certainly hope you are doing well.

Sincerely,

Dear Lin and Ross,

I wanted to report to you that our church today on Super Bowl Sunday gave over 1, 200 cans of soup to the Souper Bowl of Caring. Thank you very much for the stories on the project, and the great background you provided.

Sincerely,

Reverend Dr. Richard H. Thompson
Head of Staff

Ross:

It’s mind-boggling to learn, Dick, that there are 38 million hungry Americans, and 14 million of them are children.

Mr. Porter:

I enjoyed the article on my dad, Alvin Dark, that you wrote for your website. He celebrated his 88th birthday two weeks ago.

Best wishes,

Rusty Dark

Ross:

It was good to hear from you, Rusty. Please give our best wishes to your dad.

Hello, Ross,

I am a volunteer at the West Valley YMCA which is where we met a couple of years ago.
I enjoy your website very much. Keep up the good work.

Tim Singletary

Ross:

Tim, it is people like you who make the YMCA the strong and valuable organization it is.
Congratulations on the effort you have put forth for the Y. You are helping mold young people into solid adults.

Hello, Mr. Porter:

I grew up in the Los Angeles area, and have now called Orange County home for over thirty years. I remember watching you on KNBC, Channel 4, anchoring the sports news, then all of the years doing play-by-play of the Dodgers. I also remember you on college basketball. I have always appreciated your work.

Thank you.

Ken Gascon

Ross:

What gracious comments you have made, Ken. It’s always a pleasure to hear from listeners and viewers with whom I have a history.
