I had the honor of meeting L.C. and Jack Ham both at a signing in Chatsworth, CA in the 90's. Classy guy. I could tell they were both a bit tired from the day of signing, but they catered to every request everybody made of them. Great guys who cared about their fans! How do you post a pic here... I could post the one I have with Greenwood.
