Who is the most interesting person you have ever met?

Arthur Kaufman. I actually met him through my mother [her friend Janice was his housekeeper].

But we didnt read much newspaper. Mr. Kaufman [and it was ALWAYS MR.] would tell, no, regale me with stories. None of those film "the time I was a hero" stories. Run of the mill "back when I was your age" stories. great stuff
