DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?


Art Linkletter, who has become famous as a motivational speaker, author, and host of a TV series on CBS for many years,  tells this story about his visit to a nursing home recently.  

It seems that he had been invited to give an inspirational talk  to all the residents of a nursing home in his hometown.   There had been sufficient notification to all the residents of the home prior to his appearance.  Practically all the residents attended, and he was well-received after his address.

As he was walking out the door of the home, there sat an older lady confined to a wheelchair sitting right near the exit door.  She had been unable to attend the speech.  Out of courtesy, he stopped to speak to her.  He politely asked her if she enjoyed the speech.  She told him she was unable to attend.  He then asked her,"Do you know who I am?"

She then looked him right in the eye and told him, "No, but if you go right over there to the admission desk, they can tell you who you are!"
