(60,333 posts)25. Just lovely! My wife, daughter and I got to meet him years ago after his show -
we were visiting my daughter, who was attending Carleton, and we rushed (waited outside in line, in the rain - but as a bonus, got in - and got to sit on stage!). It was captivating, magical, wonderful.
Afterward we stayed a bit - we had a brief chat with Mr. K - so tall, stately, attentive, face so full of character. He focused on asking my daughter questions - and concentrated so deeply on her answers. It became clear why he is such a great story teller - he listens, and is always collecting!
Anyway....thanks for this wonderful OP.
