I KNEW MIKE DOUGLAS PERSONALLY DURING MY MODELING DAYS. WE BECAME FRIENDS. THE CAMERA MAN WOULD FOCUS ON ME FOR THE CORRECT COLOR,ETC. FOR MIKE'S LIVE SHOW. MIKE WAS A WARM, ENGAGING MAN WHO ALWAYS SMILED AND LAUGHED...ON AND OFF CAMERA. HIS SINGING VOICE HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED THROUGH THE YEARS DUE TO THE POPULARITY OF HIS "THE MIKE DOUGLAS SHOW". CLEVELAND'S AFTERNOON TELEVISION TALK SHOWS WERE CREATED AND MIKE (DOWD) DOUGLAS WAS THE REASON IT BECAME "THE HIT" ....AND BEGINNING OF ALL NATIONAL AMERICAN AFTERNOON TELEVISION TALK SHOWS. MIKE INTRODUCED ONE OF HIS GUESTS AND ME ... WE BECAME THE "LOVE OF OUR LIVES" FOR SOME 23 YEARS. THANK YOU, MIKE. SERAINE D.
