Just got this in and suggest you take a look at the news story - great fun!

As you probably know, when I was head of TV & movies for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, I became friends with Elvis Presley and shot some home movies with him. NBC-TV in Seattle flew me up to the old World's Fair site to reminisce on camera about my time as a youngster starting out in TV in 1962. The piece ran a few days ago on NBC-TV. I thought you might find it a fun thing to see from my early days in the business ... almost 50 years ago!

What a lucky dog that Albert is. . . to have worked at the Seattle World's Fair AND pal around with The King.

To say nothing of working in an even higher position at the NYWF in '64 and early '65. Albert has TWO World's Fairs under his belt (and after that the producer/director of the Mike Douglas Show, a recent Emmy award.... Al has a pretty impressive resume).
