At the end of the interview, the organizers were going to find out which kid had a birthday closest to Mr. Ames', and he/she would get one of his albums. Ed turned to his handler and said, "Let's just give them ALL an album. Get everybody's name and address." The pissed-off look on the handler's face was priceless, LOL. I got an autographed album in the mail a few weeks later!
