Mr. Fish at the LA Times Festival of Books

The first real celebrity who I ever saw in person was Captain Noah.  I was 6-years-old at the time and he was visiting a shopping mall in Springfield, Pennsylvania, to raise money for the Jerry Lewis Telethon and the vision of him in 3-dimensions froze me and stilled my ability to speak.  Not until I […]
