so i kind of believed him, but not 100%. I asked for chris's middle name for her bio (at that time this was *nowhere* to be found on the internet!) and he told me it was Anne. so being the lunatic that I was/am, i did some research and got a document from the UK (using snail mail back and forth which took 100 years) and lo and behold, when i opened that envelope and saw her middle name was what he'd told me, i literally cried and hopped around the room. THAT was when i believed it was really him. watta moment.

and it still took me a good 8 years and lots of BS-ing back and forth to ask if he wanted to do a Q&A!

That is SO COOL! I can't imagine how thrilled I'd be!

John is/was definitely the most grounded of them all.
