to the boys was this : "All I expect out of you both, when you set out for yourselves, is that you do an honest day's work. And if you choose to be bums — then be at least good bums; the best, in fact!" Durward is a very truthful man. I can still say, after all these years, he is one of the most truthful men I've ever met. He isn't undiplomatic enough to criticize a new hat I'm fond of — but where there is an important issue, you'll get nothing but the truth from Durward. Does he talk much about the future? Yes. Durward is not one of those compulsive actors who has to be "on" till the day he drops dead. He looks forward to a day when he can retire. His idea and mine for the ideal life, when we're older, is to go to our little place in Connecticut from May to October, and then some place warm for the rest of the year. And to break up this routine with another trip to Europe, or some place we've never been. Durward has always been able to leave show business on the steps when he walks into this house. When he's ready to quit, he'll do it the same way. He says, given the opportunity, he could be the laziest man in the world. That's not quite true. He'll always be busy — if it's only fixing something or puttering around. Durward is a man of great gentleness and kindness. Thoughtful and considerate. He can't stand a me-firster, the fellow who's always pushing himself to the front of the line at the supermarket. If Durward is touchy about anything, it's about anybody prying into his truly private affairs. It irritates him when somebody asks: "How much do you make?" Or when somebody asks: "How much did the house cost you — the car — the summer place?" He's a sentimental man. Particularly about his childhood. He can sit and reminisce for hours about the things he. and his parents did together; about swimming with the gang in the Ohio River, camping . . . things such as that. He's a neat man. I've never seen anyone keep a closet in such perfect order. He could get up in the dark and pick out a certain tie, if he wanted to. A natural fixer-upper He's a man who always likes to be doing something around the house. Either this house here in Westchester, or our summer place in Connecticut. He loves to tear things out and put them back together. He grumbles when something gets out of order, but you can tell he enjoys making it work again. At the same time, he likes to relax. He loves fishing. He doesn't play much golf, but he's shown promise of being a good player — he's got a real relaxed swing. I guess you could say he has a natural talent for relaxation. One of Durward's greatest forms of relaxation after a hard day's work is to sit in a rocker and watch TV — and fall asleep! He's a good eater. He likes good cooking. He didn't have much of a chance for it in the first half of our marriage, with me working so much. But I've worked at my cooking since then, and nothing pleases me more now than when he compliments one of my dinners. He likes just about everything, from gourmet things to sauerkraut. He has a wonderful sense of humor — off the TV screen, as well as on — though some of our neighbors seem genuinely confused about this. I've heard them remark that, seeing Durward at the railroad station about to catch a train for New York, he looks just like any other serious businessman on his way down to Wall Street or Madison Avenue. He loves parties. He's usually the first to arrive and the last to leave. People who know him have said that he brings fun with him wherever he goes. He loves people, even just talking to them. One of the funniest scenes I ever saw was in the plumbing department of the Galerie Lafayette, the big Paris department store. Durward wanted to buy a shower spray. The salesman was happy to sell him one. The only trouble was that Durward spoke no French and the salesman spoke no English. Durward wanted to be sure that this spray would fit our type of faucet at home. Well, to hear him try to explain this to the man, to watch him get over the idea with his hands — it was just about the funniest thing I ever saw. Funniest of all was that the spray worked when we got back home! Durward is a religious man. But that doesn't mean he's without any frailties. Such as an occasional use of profanity. Oh, I don't mean that Durward is one to cuss a lot. But something's going to come out if he hits his thumb with a hammer. Like the time we were on vacation on a train in Italy. Like all women, I had bought souvenirs just about everywhere we'd stopped and I had a big straw basket loaded down with dozens of little packages. Well, we walked into the compartment with all our suitcases, plus the straw basket. It was hot. We were tired. And to Durward and Randy fell the burden of placing the paraphernalia on the baggage racks overhead. As they did, I smiled a hello at the woman and the small boy already sitting by the window seats. They smiled back, then returned to their conversation in rapid Italian. Meanwhile, the train began to move. Just at that moment, the basket fell from the rack and landed smack on Durward's head. Now, I don't have to tell you that Durward didn't stay very calm about this! Matter of fact, he began to cuss away like a trooper. About fifteen miles later, the Italian lady took a cigarette from her purse, looked at Durward and said — in the most perfect English! — "I beg your pardon, but may I have a match?" Poor Durward ! He looked at me with that woebegone look of his on that rubber face. I just couldn't help it. I became absolutely hysterical — and so did Randy and Dennis. What more can I tell you about Durward? Except to say that I love my husband . . . my dear and funny Valentine . . . and the lovely life we lead together. — as told to Michael Joya See Durward on "The Garry Moore Show," CBS-TV, Tues., 10 to 11 p.m. est.
