Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 I dunno. I don't really see Jerry as a celebrity, sorry Jerry/ but just as a peer. Same as donna when she and I exchanged time together some time ago when her first book came about. I don't really get moony eyed over a lot of so-called celebrities, my self and have a hard time categorizing people into fame notches, but its just me I guess. I don't perceive the fame concept in my head that well. Kim ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

I was at the Autism Conference at Nampa, Idaho in October 2002, and after addressing Temple Grandin's mom with some questions (she was a very nice person), I was at the lobby during the break...probably eating a cookie or something. Jerry came up to me and started complementing me about my questions, but as he did this I noticed that he never gave me eye contact. I understood why he didn't, though, and as I continued talking with him he introduced himself to me. When he did I was like " Oh, you're famous! " . We continued to talk pleasantly and eventually I met , who was also nice. An interesting thing to note was that despite Mr. Newport's somewhat shakey one-on-one skills, on the panels it was like he didn't have any social impairment at all; he is really gifted at presentations. Well, that's it. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Hi, I wouldn't mind shaking his hand, or his wife's. :-) I always forget to mention her. Maybe I can get his autigraph and sell it on ebay.... Camille > > Hi, > > > > neat story.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 oooooh, You could sell it one day. Remember I found that book signed by Bruno Bettleheim? I think it was Bruno... on ebay. I wanted to get it and send it to , but it was a little too expensive. It said, " keep up the good work " or something with his signature. Camille - really wants 's autograph or even his picture for the A2P2 page :-) > > > Hi, > > > > neat story.
