Ted ZanidakisThat scene in that fancy restaurant is a classic Belushi act....the entire movie is a classic. Some really great movies in
the 1970's. Starting with The French Connection, American Graffiti, The Sting, Blazing Saddles, Jaws, The Blues Brothers.
What I really remember of our first encounter (on that Tel. call), was I first asked you if your Richie Ashburn card was
available. Then you made my day by telling me how much you enjoyed the 1949 Bowman set article. The Spring issue of
BB Cards magazine just out and you were the first to give me feedback on it. Then Ralph and I received 100's of positive
letters from all over the country. And, one "negative" letter from guess who....Keith Olberman. It was obvious to me from
his remarks that he didn't bother to read the article. So I responded sarcastically, telling him to read it in its entirety.
He sent me a 2nd letter with a "qualified" apology.
Me-thinks he suffers from the well known "non-invented here syndrome", that affects people who are always skeptical of
other's ideas....simply because they didn't think of them first.
Gee, 25 years of a beautiful friendship.....Thanks for reminiscing.
