Gregory Peck and me!

Gregory Peck came to town to promote his latest movie and he didn't want any publicity except for appearing on the local TV stations. I was determined to hunt him down, so I called a TV station and got some lowdown as to where he was.

So I grabbed my movie camera (this was in the early 70's), got one of my daughters to come with me, and drove to KDALTV. We saw a limo sitting there with the driver waiting for him to exit the building. Then he appeared!!

I was a nervous wreck, but he posed with me while my daughter took a movie of us together.

He wore dark glasses so I couldn't see his eyes, but I took a really good look at the rest of his

handsome face. There was no doubt about it. It really was Mr. Peck. He spoke!

He said, "It looks like we are going to make a movie together."

This trembling idiot replied, "Do you think we will both fit ?"

What was going through my mind was that he was so tall, and I was so short, that maybe the

movie couldn't capture us both. But it did. And I got his autograph, too. I might sell it on

E-Bay.
