Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
Dr. Ruth Westheimer was a spunky
53-year-old who gave explicit sex advice
to listeners of her radio show
from her studio in New York
City beginning in 1981. I was
hosting a morning TV show, and while lis-
tening to her program on the way to work,
I was so impressed with her candor that I
encouraged my producer to book her as a
guest.
When I interviewed Dr. Ruth, her first
question to me was, “How is your sex life?”
I kiddingly responded that it was not her
business. We both laughed because the
truth is, that’s exactly what her business
was. Dr Ruth died recently at age 96.
I first met Richard Simmons while host-
ing an evening talk show in Columbus,
Ohio, in the late 1970s. My wife Mary Ellen
was unsure about the exercise guru,
questioning whether his public displays of
compassion and empathy for those with
weight problems were sincere. It seemed a
bit showbizzy.
Mary Ellen came to the studio the night
Richard was to appear. After the show,
while searching for a restroom, she passed
a dressing room where Richard sat with a
young lady who was struggling with her
weight. Richard was holding her hand, con-
soling her while she sobbed. That’s who
Richard was.
Back in New York City the next year, I
was on location preparing to tape a seg-
ment with Richard. A woman pulled up in
her car and told Richard that her mom was
a huge fan but was presently in the hos-
pital. She requested an autograph to take
to her. Richard jumped in the woman’s car
and headed off to see the ailing mother. I
was left there with my crew. That’s who
Richard was.
A photographer saw Richard jogging
with me in Central Park. The snapshot he
took appeared on the front page of a well-
known tabloid. View it on my Facebook
page.
Years later, Richard came to Indy. He
arrived in a limo at my home, where I
was doing my WISH-TV segment live at
5:30 a.m. Visit this link mail.aol.com/d/

ras, the morning anchor, convulsing in
laughter. Richard appears at the end of the

Batting third for this column is the late
Willie Mays, arguably the greatest baseball
player of all time. His home in New Ro-
chelle, N.Y., was only a couple of miles from
my house. I never had the nerve to knock
on the door for an autograph, even though
I am sure he would have happily obliged.
Willie had a touch of Yogi Berra in him.
My favorite Willie quote went something
like this: Never assume the other guy
will never do something you would never
do. That seems like too many negatives for
one sentence.
But when I think about Ruth, Richard
and Willie, I know they are three people I
will never, never, never forget.
