The Michael Berry Show.

Look, I can't do a tribute to every person I love and adore on this show, or it would just be...

That's all it would be, because I don't really collect anything other than fascinating people

who being around them and knowing them makes me a better person.

It's a purely selfish indulgence.

Interesting people, for whatever reason they're interesting.

Some of them are good people, some of them are bad people.

Some of them are highly talented, some of them are highly skilled, some of them are selfless and giving and not famous.

But in one way or another, they make my life better by knowing them.

And the cycle of life is that at some point we're going to lose them and at some point I'll be the lost.

It's just the way it works.

But let me tell you a story quickly about Frank Cropito that is the least probably famous story about him,

but tells you everything you need to know about Frank Cropito.

And forgive me, I told this story years ago.

We had moved into a street called Crestwood next to Memorial Park.

We lived on the south side of it.

So you never noticed that this little, it's like an English country lane is there.

And I lived at one Crestwood and he lived at two Crestwood.

And it was Frank and Dorine.

Dorine owned a firm of paralegals and document management.

She ended up building up this business into something really, really successful.

Sold it and then started spending most of her time in Jackson Hole.
