  This is an enormous gift.  In the 1990s, every midnight after returning from Stanford where I worked,  I’d cuddle up with a blanket & watch Charlie Rose.  5 nights a week & it felt like Heaven!  Welcome back to my world.

  I have been in Francis's workshop in the Napa Valley.. First conversation I had with him he spoke about science and how he was a boy scientist.

  I'm so glad to find this channel. You were the best on PBS! And CBS.

  I respect anyone who suceeds and decides to keep trying new things instead of repackagaing their old hits. <br><br>FFC is always learning, going forward and trying new things.<br><br>I have immense love and respect for him.

  I have a debt of gratitude with Charlie Rose. Back in the early 1990s I looked forward to listening to the CR hour on PBS with discipline, pen and paper handy. I recorded it and listened to it again. (I just ran into a handful of those homemade recordings). Understanding &nbsp;was the hardest part of &nbsp;learning English as a second language. &nbsp;I used to think, &quot;one day I will run into him&quot; as I was lucky to meet a handful of &quot;movers and shakers&quot; as the terrific Hartnell Community College Dr. Mooney used to say. She is no longer among the living. This is an excuse to tell her thank you too. Her larger than life spirit and her passion for teaching endures in those who attended her classes. In this conversation <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2t0OYfKt40&amp;t=948">15:48</a> Ford Coppola mentioned Conrad&apos;s Heart of Darkness; she thought it a masterpiece.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2t0OYfKt40&amp;t=1708">28:28</a> &quot;The director’s latest [Megalopolis] is a great-man story about an architect, played by Adam Driver, driven by ideals and big plans. It’s a personal statement on an epic scale.&quot; NYTimes Review. Notice also👉 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2t0OYfKt40&amp;t=1744">29:04</a> &nbsp;October 3 was &nbsp;Gore Vidal&apos;s birthday. He would have been 99.
