I totally love that you guys made the entire show, a tribute to Mr Osgood. I remember him from being with CBS, and how easily he could spin a rhyme, and also that he always wore such beautiful ties. What I didn't know but learned today, was how much more there was to him than being a great newscaster/commentator/poet laureate. If only we could all live even half the life that he did! Thanks CBS for today's tribute to Charles!

Im 56 now, but as long as I can think back good or bad news, I always felt good about the way Osgood told the story. If it was bad news, he always had a truthful way of giving me the hang in there and make the best of the situation. Think positive.
