I meet him in person in 1998 while I was working at Eckerd Drug Store in Sarasota, FL. He had a Summer home in Sarasota and came in the store to fill his prescription. Although he is a very private individual and doesn't like to be noticed in public- he was nice, and signed one or two autographs before he quickly left.
He lives about 45 minutes away from me. I've always wondered if I wrote to him if he'd sign for a fellow Mainer, especially one so close.
I've met him a few times but never bothered to ask him for an autograph, I feel so weird doing it in person. The last time I saw him was a year ago in Borders, he was smoking a cigar in the store - and I bumped into him, literally as I was going around the corner. He had the DVD 1408 in his hand. Ha.
