Tony came to speak to students in my elementary school in the 1990s. He hasn’t aged since then. Haha

Same and I think of that day EVERY time I watch him. I’ve even passed my love for Tony into my toddler, who runs to the TV when the news is on to see if Tony is doing the weather. 😂

He did my high school graduation commencement. Nearly 20 years ago. Same.

He flew in on a helicopter to my elementary school. Absolute boss.
