75. I met him once!

Apr 2015

Many, many years ago....I was working for the department of pediatrics at the School of Medicine and he was a guest speaker at an event on campus. He came into my boss's office and asked to USE MY PHONE! I was alone with the Roo. WORSHIPED him as a kid. He was very kind and polite, of course. I stood there star struck.
