Letter to the Editor,

I’ve been away for over three weeks. For the first time in our lives, my wife Marnie, and I took a long vacation and traveled to Australia. It was my first trip off the continent and I expected the 13 hour flight from Las Angeles to Sydney would seem unending.
In fact, it was quite the opposite. I slept for most of the trip.

If you were a kid or teen in the late 1970s or early 1980s you likely remember how famous actor/comedian Robin Williams got his start in the entertainment world.
