Thanks, Midnite! I stumbled across Autograph Collector about two years ago at my local Barnes and Noble. As a freelance writer, I still collect autographs and wanted to see if there were any values listed in the magazine. Well, I was hooked! After a while, I thought...hmmm, maybe I should try my hand at writing an article for them! All it took was an idea, an e-mail to the editor, and voila! I was writing my first AC article!
Incidentally, that first article chronicled my meeting with Marie Wallace at Hampton Playhouse (Hampton, NH) in July 1969. And because of that article, guess who contact me...none other than Marie herself! We chatted on the phone and had a good laugh. She's very charming. I just completed an interview with her that I'd like to post on this board, if that's ok (I also have one with KLS!).
My favorite articles to write are ones with the "personal" touch. My memory is very good (though I just hit the big 5-0 on November 2nd); we'll see how long it lasts!
Thanks again! I appreciate all the nice remarks. Really, the article is my tribute to not only the show and its actors and artisans, but to us--the fans--those who have kept DS alive. We deserve the spotlight!
