7. The Time He Took A Stand:
6. A Quiet Moment:
I ran into him at the De Anza College arts faire back in the 90s. My expectations were that he would be this manic performer, 24/7. Turns out he was soft spoken, almost shy, and enjoyed shopping for candles with his wife. That made me happy.

4. Getting Personal:
Robin Williams outside the Toy Boat on Clement Street in San Francisco. He was standing with others, as I recall. As I passed I said, “Hello!”, in a high pitched squeaky voice. Robin’s eyes widened and in a high voice he responded: “Hello! Do you pinch your testicles too?”

I met him twice walking around SF. Once I was at a stop light on my bicycle and he was at the corner cross walk. He asked me a bunch of questions about my bicycle and I could barely speak. Love that man
