I spent only a few hours on Saturday at the Fest, my first and only one, after we docked back in New York following our cruise to Bermuda (I watched for your ship passing up, Robin, so I could wave!). Of course, my highlight was meeting TLATKLS, as well as many of the other stars, and seeing them up on stage. During the auction, I bid for, and won, a CD of the War and Remembrance soundtrack (the proceeds went to the Alzheimer's Assocation - my mother died of the disease).
Now, please, let me download these pics right!

Kathryn Leigh Scott autographing the box containing the Josette's Music Box repro I purchased. She told me not to hurry and sell it on e-bay. (It'll be buried with me!)

Talking with Kathryn Leigh Scott. She was such a sweet, generous lady of the highest caliber. My one friend, no DS fan, said that she was the classiest of all celebrity ladies he had ever met. Of course!

Me (possessing racoon eyes from wearing sunglasses while trying to get a Bermuda tan) with - sigh! - Kathryn Leigh Scott.

We went to the table where James Storm, Chris Pennock and Marie Wallace were signing autographs. Miss Wallace was at the end, and the line had not reached her yet. We were a bit sullen at seeing the length of the line - Miss Wallace noticed us and said: "Hey, guys, come and talk with me!" We didn't want to "jump", but she stated: "Crazy Jenny says for you to come!" She gave us her undivided attention, and my one friend discovered that both do volunteer work for the same charity. They exchanged e-mail addresses so she could maybe help out at his end. What a classy woman!

Chris Pennock noticed our tans and asked from where we got them. When we told him about our cruise, he began to ask us tons of questions as he and his family were thinking of a cruise and wondered about Bermuda. (For now, I imagine, the island nation will be off the list of places to go.)

Who ever that woman in the white shirt is looks like she's having a WONDERFUL time lol ;-)

Thanks for sharing all these, Gerard. You have such a beautiful smile. And your friend looks like a body builder. The shot of Jim Storm with the two of you is particularly cute.
I love the one of you with Pennock, too. His smile is pure John Yeagar!
Marie is one of my favorite people among the DS actors. I'm glad to hear you had such a good time with her.
And, of course, the shots of you with KLS give me quite a tingle, knowing what a lifelong dream it must have been for you to meet her. I just hope that you won't be stalked now by other members of the TLATKLS Appreciation Society because of how much closer to her you are now!
I've been watching episodes of DS from October 1966 and really enjoying KLS' performance in the Frances Swann scripts. I wish DC had allowed the writers to give Maggie more spunk in the later years. It comes through loud and clear that spunk is something Miss Scott has in spades!

Lovely photos, Gerard! And it's nice being able to put a face to the name now. Thanks so much for sharing.

PS - I appreciated your comments as well, as I was never too crazy about MW the person. Now I see her in a new and different light - and that's a good thing. [thumb]
PPS - Glad you had a good vacation and got out of there before Fabian arrived!

Thanks for sharing your pics, Gerard! It was nice to finally see the face behind the name. Funny how, from your many humble and self-effacing posts, I had expected to see someone older, frail, pale, and kind of bookish. Instead, you look younger, robust, tan, and cool!
I still remember my disbelief at the 2001 Fest upon discovering that ProfStokes was not the bespectacled older man I had envisioned but instead was this lovely, smart, and funloving young lady.

Hi Gerard,
I agree with Gothick, you have a lovely smile and also very beautiful eyes! It looks like you and your friends had a blast!!
Sorry I missed you there. Your pictures came out great! I especially love the one of you and your pals with James Storm!
The audience one was funny. I was sitting over on the very far right up in around the second row so I was just out of camera range.
Glad you had a great time on your cruise as well! (that's quite a sunburn you got there!)
Thanks Gerard for sharing all of your nice pictures with us. Glad you made the fest after all!!

Gerard, you look marvelous! Love your pictures, and I'm happy you had a good time. I wish I could've been there to meet you. :(

Great pictures Gerard! You look fantastic with that tan. We didn't actually meet but now that I see your pictures I remember seeing you around. Next time I'll say hello!

Hi Gerard,
It was great looking at your photos. Actually the one with David Selby I'm sure I took. I was the volunteer in line ushering people to his book/autograph table and taking pictures for them. If I didn't take it...then I was watching as it was being taken because I remember you three very well.

Hi, Cheryl!
Yes, you did take it - I remember now my friend asking you if you could snap it with his camera. Thank you! It came out perfectly, as you can see - you should become a professional photographer! And thank you everyone for your endearing comments - you're all fantastic people!

Great pictures! So glad you were able to meet the wonderful KLS. I still want to be her when I grow up. It is also nice to see a face to the "name". Glad your vacation was a good one.

I had expected to see someone older, frail, pale, and kind of bookish.

Gerard,
Thanks so much for sharing those wonderful pics! I wish I had seen you at the Fest, but I missed out on part of it. Next time I'll have to look for the nice-lloking tall guy with the killer tan! Poor Happybat only burns in the sun - one disadvantage of being a fair-skinned Scandinavian! 8)

Loved your festival pictures Gerard! How lucky it was for you that you were able to attend right after your cruise was over. It must have been like having two vacations in one.
It's so nice for fans, such as myself, who for one reason or another couldn't make it to this years fest to be able to see other's pictures of the event.
Thanks!
Deb
