Jack Klugman, who has been a strong supporter of the foundation, and who last year filmed a TV public service announcement for us which received over 28 million viewer impressions in TV markets all over the US, has recently published a book about his time with Tony Randall. Tony starred with Jack in the Odd Couple both on TV and in the live theater production. Jack has frequently told me that Tony was the one who lit a fire under him to work on getting his voice back (Jack did not talk for almost 4 years after his cancer surgery) by telling him that he damn well better get rid of the chalk board and learn to speak again since he had booked them both into a Broadway run of the Odd Couple in less than a year. While only part of the book deals with Jack's travels through his cancer experience, it is a great read. He has generously given us 10 signed copies to sell to raise money for OCF. They are $24.50 apiece, plus $4.00 shipping in the US. For those of you thinking about donating to the foundation, here is a way to get a piece of entertainment history signed by Jack for your donation. There are only 10 signed copies. I would appreciate your support in helping the man who helped us generously with the donation of his time, and the use of his name and celebrity to raise the awareness of oral cancer and its risk factors. After these are gone, you will still be able to buy the book at www.tonyandme.com (Please tell them that OCF sent you) One of the funny parts of this is that it includes a DVD of outtakes of the two of them from the TV series that are a crack up. Some of the recent reviews are:


Brian, stage 4 oral cancer survivor. OCF Founder and Director. The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.
