<\/a>Garry Meier and Steve Dahl (2006)<\/p><\/div>\n
Guys: You both have your reasons for the schism, but forgiveness is one of the greatest personal liberators. Roger and Gene Siskel took your breakup personally. They frequently discussed how they could counsel you to put the past behind you and get back together. In fact, before your split they would sometimes daydream about going their separate ways. But your split scared them so much, that even in anger they wouldn\u2019t suggest breaking up. It brought them closer together, but it hurt them so much to see you two just walk away from each other. Not only did they enjoy your radio banter, they considered you both friends.<\/p>\n
Bruce DuMont: Please get another photo of Garry and Steve. How about using the one that is posted in Rob Feder\u2019s column? And can you give the honoree a complimentary ticket?<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t usually intercede uninvited in other people\u2019s squabbles, but this just feels like it is crying out for someone to step in. That event will be so much better and so much more meaningful if it is attended by both of you and your families. I bet more Chicagoans will attend if you are both there.<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t planning to attend because I will be out of town, but if I know you both will be there, I will come. There are some names that just sound right together, especially in Chicago. Steve Dahl and Garry Meier, Garry Meier and Steve Dahl, either way, it just sounds right.<\/p>\n
Loving regards,
\nChaz<\/p>\n
