Robin Williams and his lovely partner
Susan visited our store prior to his heart attack a while back. When
he walked in he was immediately engaging and truly interested in what
we were about. Of course, knowing who he was I became quite nervous,
but he asked for a tour of the space, and I showed him around. When
we got to our bathroom (all white), with a picture of the "white" album in it, I told him the room was dedicated to that
Beatles album, and he loved it.
Then, he saw my photo of Bob Dylan on
the wall and did an amazing Dylan imitation! We talked about Dylan to
great lengths (he met him) and by that time I had become so relaxed
with him. He ended up purchasing the coolest clothing in the store,
and while shopping he fell in love with a coat that I did not have in
his size, so while leaving he gave me his personal email and home
address. I searched high and low for that coat, and finally had it
sent from Italy to him. Upon receiving the coat he was so gracious
and Thankful.
When he became ill I sent him an email saying that I was rooting for him. He responded with a thank
you.
Robin, I thank you for your kindness
towards me. -Love, John
