Got a call from a celeb tonight...

My family and I are big fans of the movie "Meatballs". So I have been trying to put together a matte of signatures from the cast. A few of the people I have had trouble finding was Russ Banham (Crockett) and Todd Hoffman (Wheels). Well a few months ago I was able to get Russ' email address. I emailed him...Which led to a few emails back and forth. I then asked if he ever heard what happened to Todd Hoffman? He said that he still speaks to him and would ask him where I could write to him. Yesterday, Russ emails me back with Todd's phone number and told me to give him a call. I did and left a message. Well, I am coming home from a baseball game with my son and called my wife to let her know that we are heading home. She is all excited. She was like "I just spoke to Wheels!". She said at first she didn't know who it was and then she recognized his voice and told him I wasn't home. When I got home I called him back. We chatted for about 10 minutes about the movie and ordinary stuff. But, he was very nice and gave me his home address and told me to send it out and he would sign it. He asked who else I was able to get. I told him and said I was still missing Kristen DeBell. He says he speaks to her occasionally and he would try to get her and Ivan Reitman to sign something too. I cannot give out his address...Until he gives me the ok..Which I totally forgot to ask. I hopefully will speak to him again. And will ask.
