For years I have giving this talk before church groups, Rotary Clubs, book signings and the like.  The title is "What's Important Is Who Plays the Part of Arthur Fonzarelli."  And the story is even one that's featured in my book Bill Cherry's Galveston Memories.

It's an important lesson that I learned by observing the character and actions of my friend of more than fifty years, Victor J. Damiani.

More often than not, the talk brings a standing ovation, not because I do a particularly good job of telling it, but because the story of Victor and what we learned from him is so poignant.

Today is Victor's birthday.  It's number 71.  And he's still teaching us by his own example how God expects us to live our lives.
