Desi Arnaz, who had just died five days earlier following a long bout with cancer, had written a touching statement for this event, which is read here (video below) by Robert Stack. (Lucy had to fly almost immediately to Washington following Desi's funeral in order to attend this event.) Lucy struggles to keep her composure, but the mood quickly changes when Bea Arthur, Valerie Harper and Pam Dawber come out for a musical tribute to Lucille Ball -- a musical medley of WILDCAT, MAME and I LOVE LUCY, set to special new lyrics.

Ability is of little account without opportunity.
I'm not funny. What I am is brave.
Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead.
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
