I found out he was going into have shoulder surgery the next day-I wish I would have know I would have wished him well.
I also had the pleasure to meet him again at his retirement party at Starlight. Couldn't have been nicer and more graciouse-just an all around great guy. As real as it gets. If you treat him with respect he does the same back.
At his retirement there was a line of family and friends around Leslie Brett-talking and giving her hugs-so I just got in line- said congrats and gave her a big long hug-lol About half way through the hug I think she realized she didn't know me-but smiled anyway. She is pretty hot and also very sweet.
George is the man. I am sure the people who think he is an asshole-he would think the same thing about them.  |
Nice to hear a good story about him. As far as people bashing on people hounding him for autographs, I have never even bothered trying because I keep hearing he won't talk to an adult about autographs. I gave up my dream of speaking with him 15 years ago when I realized I had no chance.
