PPB President Alan Perris presented Regis Philbin with the Art Gilmore Career Achievement Award following the entertaining stories about him from the dais guests.

In his remarks accepting the Art Gilmore Career Achievement Award, Regis explained how, after he had served in the U.S. Navy, he thought he might try his hand at the new television business. A Navy buddy convinced him that he should go after it right then and there, which he did. He got his first job at KCOP, Channel 13, and his first "tools of the trade" were a broom and dust pan. From there, there was nowhere to go but up. (Roxanne Schorbach photo) |
