I got to meet him backstage at an event in L.A. when I was part of a Marine Corps ceremonial unit in 1993. I didn’t think he would be too sociable to military guys because of his opposition to vietnam and the draft. I walked over to him and he threw me a half salute, shook my hand and said “Semper Fi”. I didn’t have anything on me to get an autograph with, but shaking his hand was pretty awesome.
He is a class act.
