This blog is still in business! (lol)

I apologize for the very long delay in updating my blog. I've been out of town and under the weather which not only caused the delay in updating but my lack of motivation for sending out. I am seriously thinking I need an 'autograph intervention'. While I wait for that, lets get caught up from most recent to oldest success.

John Anderson - In Person: 3/30/07. I saw John in concert last night. He put on an excellent show that included many of my favorite songs of his, such as "Straight Tequila Night", "1959", "Would You Catch A Falling Star" and of course "Swingin". Before the show I had a chance to meet him and he signed this CD insert for me. I was lucky to accomplish this because John doesn't sign during his meet & greet's anymore.

Beverly Mitchell - In Person: 3/1/07. I met "7th Heaven" TV star turned country music singer Beverly Mitchell when I was in Nashville. She was very friendly and so beautiful. (I haven't seen a photo that does her justice yet). Beverly plays "Lucy" on "7th Heaven" or you may remember her from the movie "Saw II". She signed this photo for me with a very nice inscription.

Frank Oz -Sent: 3/9/05 Received: 2/27/06.* Here's a long lost success that I had given up on. Almost two years ago I sent this out to Frank Oz at an address that people had been getting responses from. Shortly after it seemed you saw no one getting anything back from that address so it wasn't looking promising. My photo and index card came back today, both personalized along with a typed form letter that said "I was going through things and I found your request. It must have fallen between the cracks. Even though it's been so long since you've written I hope the enclosed will still be meaningful to you. Best wishes, Frank Oz". We'll Frank yes it still does. Awesome addition (of an important character) to my "Star Wars" autograph collection. (* means date is approximate. I was out of town when it arrived but I'm pretty sure this was the date it arrived).


Frank Oz signed "Yoda picture". Yoda-man Frank!


David Lander - In Person: 2/16/07. I was excited to read that David Lander was making a (very rare) public autograph appearance. Todd was attending the show so I sent my "Laverne & Shirley" cast photo to him, to have David sign. (Thank you Todd). David was charging a very reasonable fee to sign and then donating all of that money to multiple sclerosis. So not only did I get an autograph I really wanted but I helped out a charity. David played "Squiggy" on "Laverne & Shirley". He could make me laugh just by saying (in his 'Squiggy' voice) "Hello".



Three down and one to go to complete my 'Laverne & Shirley' photo (Penny Marshall still needed).
