Kenny Baker - R2-D2
 
Sunday morning, I was happy to be of help to Kenny Baker and his lovely wife by courting them from their hotel to the autographing tables.... with the wheelchair, it was a bit of a push for his wife for sure. During the chat on the way to and through the Excel, we talked about their trip through the Rocky Mountains of the western United States (My old stomping grounds) and their lovely visit to Switzerland (My new stomping grounds).
 
I had the chance to compliment Kenny on his work in “Time Bandits” and I fell in love with his wife. She’s a wonderful and gracious lady. I found the couple to be extraordinarily aproachable and kind. It was my sincere pleasure to meet them both and to have been able to serve in the capacity I did.
 
They offered me a signed print in return of my services. I chose the print of R2-D2 in the desert trench in Tunisia for which I asked for it to be personalised. It started a great day.
