Congratulations, Mr. Van Dyke, For Your Award!

Dick Van Dyke, you are my favorite living comic performer (the only other one of your caliber is the late Lucille Ball). I loved your "Dick Van Dyke Show", (I own all episodes on DVD), your performances in "Mary Poppins", and in other films. You, sir, are a gentleman and a person with a clean disposition compared to so many of today's "talent". Thank you for providing me close to 50 years of wonderful entertainment. Your smile has brought happiness to me through much of my life, and I am indebted and grateful. Every year was a golden one with you on the silver screen or the smaller one. Congratulations on receiving the Screen Actor's Guild's Lifetime Achievement Award last night (Jan. 27, 2013). I can think of no one more deserving of this award.
