This is what he wrote to his Pez Club after we met… It would appear we make each other feel good!

Today I met my former director for coffee. I worked for him 25 years back and we’ve kept in touch all this time. In a nod to the tv ad, I refer to him as the most interesting man in the world. Each year he still calls on birthdays. The call may not last very long as his contact list has over 7000 entries. Do the math, that is a lot of calls each day! He has moved to another state so face-to-face visits only happen when business brings him in town. One face-to-face occurred in July 2021 when he rerouted his flight home to include a layover in Cleveland! He wanted to see firsthand the excitement of Pezamania. What is important to me became important to him. I took him room hopping for a bit which blew his mind. He even made it into the group picture – the only one wearing a sports jacket! Rerouted! Who does that?

Also this week, I was exchanging messages with a couple of fellow collectors who are facing some crucial medical tests soon. A version of read/make/send clicked in my brain. So if I may be so bold to suggest, find someone today/tonight and tell them “you are my top priority”. I guarantee they will feel great and I’m sure you will too.
