What are the most important things you've learned from Marty?

Steven Waldman
In the personal history he did for LifePosts, he answered the question "What message would you most like your loved ones to hear from you?" with this simple statement that pretty sums up his life philosophy: "Keep loving and caring for each other."

Also I was always so impressed by how ethical you were in your business dealings -- even when it would cost you money or business. I remember one company wanted you to do PR for wrapping papers for pot and you refused, even though they were your biggest client. That made a big impression on me.

Steve - I'm impressed as you must have learned abstinence from your father, too. It's "rolling papers" not "wrapping papers."
Gordon Waldman
Honestly, how to be a great grandfather. I seriously believe that one day when I have grandkids of my own I will think back and ask myself WWPD (What would Pop-Pop do)? He gave us grandkids the perfect mix of lovable goofiness and wise words of wisdom.

Amazing stories from the early days of TV! Like how advertisers subbed in mashed potatoes for ice cream during commercials.

How to carve a turkey well!
