In Stories and Memories
Makin’ copies in 1998 (?) in my first month or so of employment at Vignette. Small crowd, had met almost everyone in the office. Was it the Far West location? I had a brief, comic, awkward conversation with someone who was also in the copy closet doing something with office supplies. I think they needed stamps. Then I went back to the office I shared with Phil Barnhart and asked who it was.
“Haven’t seen him around before,” I said.
“What did he look like?” asked Phil.
“Reminded me a little of Rick Moranis, maybe?” I said.
“You just met Ross Garber,” said Phil.
“I’ve heard the name...” I said vaguely. And Phil proceeded to educate me in patient detail.
Oh. OH. ...ohhhh.
I’m pretty sure I had no further occasion to chat with Ross for the next 3-4 years, but I will never forget that stunned moment of “met a celebrity - what exactly did I say?!” panic.
