The story...

I was on a flight with Howard to LA and was sitting in first class with him. I wanted to go introduce myself and say what a fan I was and was working up the nerve for the whole 51/2 hour flight to do it. He Just looked so busy and not in the mood...or was sleeping so I couldn't bring myself to do it. So I never spoke to him.

But after he left the plane, I went to his seat and there were 4 hairs from his head on the back rest which I took with me and still have to this day in a plastic baggie.

Call me weird but there you have it.
