I actually appeared on "Dannysday" as a child sometime in the early 1980s. All I really remember is the big, husky man with a raspy voice talking to me and patting me on the head. It seemed as though he had a repore with children throughout his career.
Following the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Danny went on his show and gave a tremendously emotional speech basically about how evil the crime was and how resiliant Oklahomans are. The speech was broadcast on CBS radio, and on the Today show.
