test Comments left for Dominick 5 Dear Mr. Dunne, Thank you for sharing so much with us over the years. I have been inspired by how you have been knocked down, but always manage to get back up. Further, your writing is wonderful and has brought me great pleasure. I hope you are well on your way to recovery and that you will have more writing to share with us soon. Again, my most sincere thanks! Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:29:42 +0000 Mr Dunne, You have been nothing but inspiring to millions of people around the world. You are everything that is admirable. You took your personal pain and turned it into something to help others experiencing that same pain. Thank you. Though, I personally cannot know that pain, cannot even imagine, I've no doubt it takes a truly special person to be able to do that. Again, Sir, you have my admiration and my utmost respect. I've read all of your books and watched as many of your shows as I can...and I hope to watch many more. Again, Thank You and God Keep and Bless and Comfort you. Truly and Sincerely Yours, Stephanie Barrington Mon, 05 Jan 2009 15:40:25 +0000 I do hope Dominick is doing well. I so enjoy his programs on TruTV. Really enjoy them with his narratives. I saw some repeated. I'd love to see more! My husband and I watched the Phil Spector trial in 2007 and are so disappointed the retrial isn't being aired. During the first trial, I saw you interviewed in which you said you happened to be in the mens room somewhere and witnessed Phil Spector furiously scrubbing his hands in extremely hot water--he scrubbed for several minutes, intent on getting them so very clean. I expected the prosecution to call you as a witness during this trial to testify to this event, as an explanation as to why the police found no gunpowder residue on his hands when they arrived at his house. . . . he'd had plenty of time to similarly scrub his hands before the police arrived. Sun, 04 Jan 2009 21:20:06 +0000 Thank you for all you do. I have been a fan for years. I loved your book "The Way we Lived Then". I have this insane hope that you might see some justice for your daughter in your lifetime. Please take good care of yourself and know that thousands are praying for you. May you be triumphant in your current fight Best wishes, Lenore Sun, 04 Jan 2009 03:04:53 +0000 Dear Mr. Dunne, I have missed reading your column in Vanity Fair, especially now that OJ Simpson is sitting in prison. I would have loved to have read your account of the trial and the verdict. I read about your illness and recent surgery and wish you a return to good health not only for you and your family and friends but also for your readers. I am happy to count myself as one of them having read your books as well as your Vanity Fair column. Your literary voice is missed. Sincerely, Martha Hanrahan Studio City, CA Sat, 03 Jan 2009 01:01:12 +0000 Dear Mr. Dunne: It is very distressing to learn that you are ill. I hope you are very soon well and hearty again. I continue to watch your shows again and again because I love your precise, biting commentary. You are so obviously an advocate for victims. Please get well and return to us! Fri, 02 Jan 2009 21:36:07 +0000 Dear Mr. Dunne please get better soon. I miss your trial coverage and your regular contributions to Vanity Fair. Fri, 02 Jan 2009 18:22:33 +0000 Dear Dominick, You of course will not remember this, but you provided me one of the big thrills of my early years as a reporter. I was covering the William Kennedy Smith rape trial in Palm Beach for my paper at the time, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, and you were there for Vanity Fair. You were already long a literary legend in my book, and I was thrilled to be able to exchange a few words with you outside the courtroom. I hung on every word you said -- and wrote. (And eventually came to appreciate the Brazilan Court as much as you.) Thanks for making a young journalist's day! I'll never forget your pleasant camaraderie with a young, no-name reporter working for a no-name newspaper. Get well soon. John Grogan Author of "Marley & Me" and "The Longest Trip Home" Thu, 01 Jan 2009 17:47:18 +0000 Dominick, I'm so sorry to hear about your illness. Your show is my favorite on tru TV. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you feel better real soon. God bless you. Tue, 30 Dec 2008 14:44:41 +0000 I am iNsPiReD!!! Not quite certain how to *exclamate* this online without sounding like I am yelling at you - which I am not - and without the use of all the special little titbits (B I U) offered to us plebs yet giving the ViSuAL aPpEaRaNcE of being moved beyond that which words enable us to express the emotion (does one say emoticon now?) with which we wish to convey our experience of the enormity of life. We do not seem to have a vocabulary corral which is large enough to contain it - which is probably why we have eternity to aspire to for this. Am I making sense? Probably not but that's ok. I have started reading Fatal Charms and am inspired (and weeping) beyond that which I am able to express... from sunny little Melbourne in the back-blocks of Oz... in the back-blocks of the world... in the back-blocks of the solar system which we call our "own"... in the back-blocks of the universe - well the milky way anyway. I am absorbed into the way with which you are able to take your reader around the corners of the mind - not necessarily outside the box (although that's a given) but to take a look at it in such a way that it has not been seen before. I hope beyond hope that one day I may be able to meet your acquaintance that I may thank you in person for your inspiration that is moving me beyond today into tomorrow. This may be in another life beyond that with which we have now... because maybe that is all I have. I remember well the days of 1982 and 1983. I do so hope that you are recovering well from your afflictions and that you are continuing to bless your family and loved ones with your continuing presence and that they are able to continue to bless you. (And because I imagine that the One who does all the Ultimate Blessing Stuff would most likely have it Be that Way... and for billions of very good reasons.) I am learning well the blessings offered by those who have lived long enough to cheat the demon called death to reach their 70's and 80's with grace and love... and live to tell about it.
