The Passing of Art Linkletter

America has lost one of its true remaining icons with today's passing of Art Linkletter. Since the launch of CraigMichaels in 2002, we had been fortunate to have Mr. Linkletter speak at six of our events over the years, with the last one being just short of a year ago (May 31, 2009). Art's speeches were always a genuine combination of inspiration, motivation and humor that deeply moved our audiences time and time again.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Art's family, especially his wonderful wife Lois of over 70 years. Below is a brief interview I recorded with Art just prior to his speech at last year's Campus Summit in April where he reflected on the challenges facing America.

We will miss you Art...
