Congrats!
I was walking around a local mall a few Christmases ago. I heard his very recognizable voice, turned around, and low and behold he was sitting at the entrance of a bookstore selling DVDs of some of his documentaries. I walked over, and told him that I loved his stuff. He had Kennywood Memories playing on his laptop, but didn't have any for sale -- shame, because that's my favorite of them. He took it out of his laptop and gave it to me since he didn't have any! Said it was his personal copy and called it an early Christmas present.

He didn't sign it, and I didn't even want to ask since he was giving it to me for nothing. It's nice to have a story behind it at least.
A Pittsburgh legend, no doubt. So congrats again on your success!
