THIS WEEKʼS PROGRAM
DICK HEATHERTON
Now a popular motivational speaker, Dick started
with a radio career in Long Island and then went
to WPOP in Hartford CT. A talented show biz
individual he appeared in summer stock theatre
and did game show announcing for Tic-TacDough and $100,000 Password. He spent 14
years on ABC’s General Hospital. From a show
business family, his father was a big band leader
and his sister is singer/actress Joey Heatherton.
Dick has been given excellent reviews by several
Rotary Clubs in this area.
His presentation today is titled
“How to Succeed
In These Hard Times”
LAST WEEK WE WERE TALKING BASEBALL
WITH FORMER ANGEL PITCHER DAVE FROST
The Angels Pitcher who was with the team in 1979 when the Club won their first division title spoke to us last week. He pitched 16 games and, at the end of the season, he
was selected as the team’s most valuable pitcher by the Baseball Writer’s Association
of America. He shared anecdotes and insights he acquired during his ten year baseball
career and said, after baseball, he wanted to do something in the personal service field.
It started when, from out of the blue a person he did not know called and offered him
a job as a healthcare consultant to the handicapped. With some trepidation, he did the
interview and began working with the handicapped.

As he began working with
these people he sensed the
worthiness of what he was
doing and found the work very
gratifying personally, and was
happy to be doing it.
Dave continues to work in
the mental health service
industry as a mental health
counselor.
Baseball is a strenuous sport
not only from the heavy daily
game schedule during the season but also from injuries.
Dave said he had knee surgery, back surgery, extremity
injuries, muscle strains...every
kind short of brain surgery!
In one of early appearances
with the Dodgers he hit a ball
beyond 3rd base. It should
have been a safe double, but
he was all psyched up and
didn’t even slow down at
second. Half way to third his
energy failed, he slowed down
and slid face first into third,
a sorry but funny sight. The
third base man laughed so
hard he dropped the ball.
