Yes, Wizard World had Howard Hesseman from WKRP in
Cincinnati. I loved this show. I watched while I was in high school. This show
spawned another Ginger or Mary Ann debate:
Bailey or Jennifer.
When I found that Joe Flanigan had left his table I came
over to Howard’s table. He was stepping away to also get lunch. It happens. But
I didn’t need to buy an autograph ticket. As I was there, I looked over his
selection of photos. It was nice but nothing jumped out to me.
Since I needed to wait, I checked out some of the other
vendors to see if they had a photo that I liked. I did find one. I paid the outrageous
amount. While the public doesn’t think
much about the price I have an idea what the vendor paid. I don’t mind paying
for convenience, I hate paying that markup. But the fault is my own. I could have
searched for something and went to Costco and printed something for myself.
When Howard got back, I walked up and handed over my freshly
bought photo. He liked it. He asked where
I found it. I mentioned a got it at a vendor at the show and point in a general
direction. He turned to his handler and
said they should get some of these. That
made me feel good.
As he handed over the photo, I mentioned really enjoying
Head of the Class. He talked about the
respect he had for teachers and what they need to do. It was good meeting him.
