In 1984 I was six years old and went for surgery at the Children's Hospital for a deviated septum. I was pretty freaked out and upset, waiting in the lobby on the day I checked in.
I wasn't paying attention to anything, but a guy walked up to me and my mom nudged me and said "who's that?"
Looked up - bigger than life moustache. Lanny. He shook my hand, gave me an autograph and wished me good luck. One of the greatest moments of my childhood.
