MILWAUKEE (AP) -- It's a walk back in television history, as members of the cast from the "Happy Days" sit-com gather in Milwaukee.

They're in town for today's dedication of a statue of Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli giving a thumbs-up sign while wearing his trademark leather jacket.

Milwaukee is joining at least six other cities around the nation that have erected statues of classic television and movie characters.

Henry Winkler, who played the Fonz, is among those on hand for the dedication. He talks with reverence about the statue of the character he created becoming a permanent addition to the city.
