Thank You George Osmond

[Big Reed]

George Osmond died yesterday at the age of 90. He was the father of the famous Donnie and Marie Osmond. While many things can be said about Donny and Marie, this post is about George. He was the founder of the Osmond Foundation. We know it today by it's more familier name : the Children's Miracle Network - a non-profit organization that raises money for Childrens' hospitals.

 

I doubt very few people knew of all the good he has brought to this world. He never brought attention to himself or the many accomplishmentsof his organization or his family. I just want to say thank you George- you made a difference.

That family was famous long before Donnie and Marie were added to the act. The Osmond Brothers were a big hit on the weekly Andy Williams show. I seem to remember mom and pop showing up every now and then when they would do a Christmas variety special. Donnie and Marie were added to the family show when they were each 5 or 6. Pretty amazing family
