44. I used to landscape right next door to Charles Schultz's house
and see him all the time taking walks. I spoke to him a few times. While I was in Junior College I worked in a movie theater and Joe Montana came in. He couldn't find the bathroom and it was right in front of him. It was pretty funny. He seems like a real decent guy. Another time I used to canvass for an environmental group and I canvassed the house of the guy that played Timmy in Lassie. He had this ornament hanging up that had ceramic border collies hanging from it. I didn't even know it was him until one of my fellow canvassers told me later on.
