On Friday night Bill was DJing a party at Gateway so I was just tooling about. One of the place I tooled to was Shop n Save. While walking through the produce section I saw a guy with a messenger bag hanging across his shoulder... not so unusual. But on the messenger bag was a picture of George W Trippon with the words "Sew Whats New". Of course, I had to ask. Maybe I should back up. For those of you who don't know (and shame on you), Mr Trippon was the host of a sewing show, "Sew What's New", that was,probably, made in the late 70s or early 80's. It aired on public TV here in the 'burgh in the 80s. I watched it when I was home from school. And it was hilarious! Turns out that Bill watched it too. We would talk about it from time to time and repeat the "catch phrases -- "please" and "thank you". I thought we were the only two people who knew about this funny & quirky guy.
Now, back to the story. This guy actually met and got to know George. How cool is that? He told me a story or two that made me laugh out loud.
A chance meeting that made my night. Now go meet George W Trippon courtesy of my new acquaintance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RfirsJlfxQ
