Pat, let me say it like this, I've seen Dave a few times. I did meet him on
the show March 15, 1991. We've talked about this before. Dave signed my Top
Ten book which was signed by Meg P. before I went to the program (that was done
as a gift from my friend's dad, who was working with Meg.
I've seen Dave a few times here in my area over the years. At a
supermarket, video store, jogging, and one time, I think, riding a motorcycle
passed me. I'm still not sure if this was him, it kind of shocked me at the
time. I tried to ask others if he owned a motorcycle, but no one knew for
sure. That show on June 17th proved that he can ride one, but I'm still not
sure about my situation. All these things happenned years ago too.
Many, many times my kids and I were going to either soccer games, ice
hockey games or baseball games traveling back and forth from Norwalk to New
Canaan or Wilton or Ridgefield. so, I really do not want to get into details
because some of the stories are personal and good ones. I did share a few to
the DaveCon folks. I just don't want everyone to know everything. Dave is
private, likes to talk about certain subjects, but does not like to talk about
the show. That is about all I will say about my encounters. I never bothered
him.
I know folks (co-workers) who would get his attention. They would tell him
things like to be careful while jogging on a certain busy road. Dave would be
polite and keep jogging. You have to let him enjoy his time alone. The
stories about Dave being rude in New York State (jogging) are probably because
the folks there are bothering him.
If Dave was my neighbor, I'd probably wouldn't be no different than my
current neighbors. If he needed a favor, I would do it, if I could. If not, I
would tell him the same.
I know what it is like to be in a store and someone recognizes your voice
(my radio show). They want to ask you a million things.
Even pumping gas was hard for me back in the 90's because of our local cable
access show was on TV for about 5 years. Folks can't help but ask if you are
on that certain show. So I understand what Dave must have to go through at
times.
But, I do enjoy his humor. He makes me laugh. Especially when I was in
the hospital a while back, it was the best medicine you can have at the time.

Excuse me? Would you like to elaborate on this, Nek?
