Re: D**K Button has passed away

@Greeneyedlady21 Listening to him & Peggy, he was tough on skaters and Peggy always tried to soften his comments!

Re: D**K Button has passed away

Oh, I loved him so much!  He was just the best when he commentated the skating shows!  I told my husband - he WAS skating!  Yes, he was old school, but he knew his stuff and no cutting corners with Mr. Button.  He was charming and wonderful!  I remember him with Peggy Fleming doing the commentating on the skating shows.  He was a true legend!
