Heart-Of-The -Year Award

 When President Richard Nixon presented Pearl Bailey the American Heart Association Award.  These powerful words were said,   "I believe we could say with regard to Pearl Bailey, she, from the standpoint of emotion, from the standpoint of poetry, from the standpoint of love--all of these things that the heart symbolizes--she has a big heart which is demonstrated by her great audience and we appreciate that and we present this award to her in that spirit."   What an amazing woman!
