Seems like something from another lifetime for me. Yes, I remember it, my family may have been watching the night he said it the first time. These days its hard to imagine how simple those feelings were then. He wouldn't even get a show today much less be as popular as he was then.

48 states,......  :o ...... that is an old clip.

 Brings back memories,Thanks for the post.

Just finished watching this.
DIAL UP!!!  :'(

This is a must see for all, especially our Congress.
I am going to send this to my reps and see if they can get it played in congress somehow.
Almost brings a tear to one's eyes.
I had all but forgotten just what an honest, straight forward and humble a man he was.
It's a shame he is gone and we don't have more like him in this world.
Never a cuss word and always entertaining!
Unlike the trash we see on TV these days.

and yes, I was born when there were only 48 states!   ;) :D
