Great program and a nice tribute.

[@JaredGriffiths2000]

Very interesting seeing a younger Mary Ann Jackson in that last short. Also R.I.P. to Rick Scheckman. Great show as always guys!

[@JaredGriffiths2000]

Looking forward to this!

[@jwsuicides8095]

That was gold!

Aww, gosh. Was hoping to make some comments on the live chat but we have to be approved? Anyway, am enjoying this intense "history lesson".

[@OofusTwillip]

Live chat distracts you from the movies. They're silent, so you have to watch them to know what's going on. 😁

@@OofusTwillip I know, but I was hoping to comment during the on screen chat.

The cast was great in this. I was concerned though about when the child is in distress...for an actress so young I'm wondering if they put her in real distress in this.

President Warren G Harding had an Airedale dog in the White House named Laddie Boy in 1921

[@markwickersham1187]

Funny! I just looked that up, too, Lynnette.

@@markwickersham1187 That comment actually came from me. 🙂

Yes whenever a dog is in the popular discourse it is likely a dog in the White House
