Thanks for sharing! You never know who you are going to run into. My sister and I were walking down 5th Avenue in New York City in 1954...and ran into our aunt and uncle. They took us to a number of interesting restaurants; and to the one and only Broadway Show. I've ever seen..Plain and Fancy with Gwen Verdon!

John, you should be ashamed of yourself using clickbait to get readers. I was expecting to hear about how well you did on a TV game show, and you did not make the cut. It must have been your prior employment at GE. [At least I would blame that}. I am kidding, though, I would bet you'd do very well in any show that requires intelligence and memory. Back in the early 60's my mother, Madeline was on Jeopardy, [back in the Art Fleming days, filmed in NY]. She came up against a four day champ going for his final fifth day, [that was all you could do back then]. She lost, but did come home with a set of encyclopedia's. She would have won, but for stage fright, she knew almost all the answers to the questions, just couldn't react fast enough to press the button. Then there was the daily double that she bet big on and missed... I got a call out of the blue after pressing charges on a guy over an Ebay deal gone sour, and ended up with a free 3 day vacation in Hollywood to appear on Judge Judy. I won, not because I was smart, but because the other guy was a crook, Jim
John, someone called you a nerd, in one of the comments, I'm a bit of a comic geek. Judge Judy involved a comic for sale on Ebay The incredible Hulk 181 that was the highest graded copy in existence at a CGC 9.9. its a long story, that had so many attractive elements to it, that 2 weeks after filing a fraud claim on the seller, I was contacted by the judge judy show.
Yes. I was a fan of GE. I wanted to get the two books about being the bosses of GE. IE 2 separate bosses. It was the largest company in the US at one stage. Then dismembered. And now it’s RE a separate listing. I have my own theory as to who and why it was gutted. Complicated but intentional.

Barbara: Small world!

You are an absolute nerd, geek, or whatever they are called.
You are having an attack of entropy.

That's a hilarious story! Thanks for sharing, I needed a laugh today.
SM: Good, that was the intention!

Jim: TY. Sounds like the Judge Judy story would be interesting!
