Yesterday afternoon Rick King traveled to The Center for Visual and Performing Arts in Munster Indiana to talk before the 8th Annual Share the Love luncheon. After telling the sold out ballroom about the journey contained in the pages of his new book “Back in the Game”–the depression caused by the death of his first wife Maggie, and the heartwarming story of how he met and fell in love with his second wife April–Rich shared some photos from the book as well.
When a picture of Tom Skilling flashed on the screen, Rich mentioned to the crowd that Skilling is among the most friendly and convivial people on the planet, and said: “You really should talk to him sometime if you get the chance.” No sooner had he said that, when a woman came up to the dais holding her cellphone in her hand. She gave it to Rich and said: “Someone wants to talk to you.”
It was Tom Skilling.
That news was met with a roar of approval from the crowd.
After the event we found out that the woman had simply been on a tour of the television station with some students, and Skilling had given them his phone number at the station, saying “if you ever need any help or an answer to a question don’t hestitate to call.” She picked a perfect time to do so.
