Wow. What an amazing story. That just goes to show how good of a person he was :-) but I connected but that resonated with me as my grandma was also the caterer and had her own catering business. During Bill Clintons reign, she used the money, around $20,000, she got as reparations because she was placed in a Japanese internment camp when she was 4 to start her catering business.

Victor Borge: There is a dear and wonderful dutch pianist and comedian Hans Liberg who himself is a fascinating and very funny, impressing musician/comedian - regarding himself, most probably, as one successor of Victor Borge. I was fascinated. Later on Victor Borge (a Dane) got me immediately - being a former high-rank concert-pianist, who - obviously - don`t match that pompous attitude of nowadays ´cool comedians´ . . . He was moking Adolf Hitler during the 2. world war and had to immigrate to the USA. I instantly fell in love with this old-fashioned gentleman of music and comedy. As the other commentators already mentioned: It is so beautiful to watch this slightly mocking and quietly provocative, nonaggressive and benigne man develope his humor in his appearances . . . This is so sweet! Thank you.
