This past Sunday morning found DH and I on our flight up to NYC. We arrived a little before my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. I wanted them to come and share Monday with me. After they arrived we grabbed a limousine and headed to the motel. We stayed at the Millennium on Broadway that was right across the street from the GMA studio. We were too early to get into our rooms so we just checked in and left our bags and headed out for some lunch. We found a nice little Italian restaurant and the food was great. After lunch we headed over to Girshwen Theatre to see Wicked. This was our first Broadway Musical and it was nothing short of AWESOME! Show over, we had dinner reservations at Gallagher’s for a huge steak! Wow, by this time we are all pretty tired so we went back to our hotel. Monday morning at 6:30 we were walking into the side door of the building…no waiting in line for us!! Anyway, we were taken to a room full of flowers & food because Robin Roberts wanted to meet me before the show. I had to hold back the tears when she came into the room and hugged me. I introduced her to DH, SIL & BIL before she had to leave. I thought that was it, but much to my amazement we were ushered onto the set to watch, take pics and talk to Robin, Diane, Chris & Sam. Robin told me she was waiting for the right time to take off her wig and since she knew I was coming, this would be the day! Right before she, Diane & Chris sat on the sofa she called out my name to find out where I was. I told her I was right there and she could do this. Cut to commercial and when the show came back on the wig was off. After the show we all were standing around talking when Robin took my arm and said “do you all mind if Donna and I go over and have some time alone?”. I was floating! We went over to a sofa in front of a huge window and talked for about 10 minutes. Robin had a segment to do so left and was back in about 15 min. We all continued to stand around and chitchat. Robin is as down to earth and wonderful as I thought she would be. Diane, Sam & Chris were as wonderful! Diane told me I needed to be there everyday b/c it was so nice to look out and see a smiling face with lots of energy….I’m starting tomorrow (ha ha)!! I’m only posting one pic at this time b/c the reporter who went with us from our ABC affiliate station (WTVD) is sending me the ones she took as well. I promise more will come! There are no words to describe what Monday was like. Robin and I

Wow......she is TALL huh? I knew she played a lot of basketball in her younger years, but seeing her beside you makes me realize just how tall she is. I am glad you had a good time there and will look forward to the other pictures. The two of you in this picture just radiate.. Joey

Munch - I've only recently discovered your story and your bucketlist adventure, and I must say I am overwhelmed. You sound like an amazing person, and what an incredible journey you are on. Thanks so much for sharing. And - are you short or is Robin just really tall?!? My goodness!

Hi Munch, Well, how cool is that!!!! As wonderful as Monday seems to have been for you, it seems that you had even more of an impact on Robin and the rest of the GMA crew. Why am I not surprised? Have you contacted either/both of your state senators about trying to get a ride in a jet fighter? Give it a shot, tell 'em your story. You never know... You continue to be an inspiration. Jay

This is neat, munch. Good luck on the rest of your list. TomS

This is marvelous and what a fabulous picture of two inspirational women. Thanks for sharing your special day with us. Karin
