Derek McGrath On Second Time Around

Hi everybody…Derek McGrath here.

I'd like to invite you to watch this week's episode of DOC in which an old friend of Derek's, whom he hasn't seen in many years, comes to town and announces his engagement to a very beautiful and much younger woman. The part of the old friend "Ben" is played by Allan Royal who in real life is an old friend of mine that I haven't seen in almost thirty years.

An even more fascinating co-incidence is that Allan himself has recently married a beautiful and much younger woman.

I am hoping that this pattern continues to the point where I too will soon be marrying a beautiful and much younger woman. Interested parties may phone me at 555 777 2132…just kidding…sort of.

This episode has a unique twist which I have never seen on any other show. I think you will love it.

P.S. That number again is...
