I met Mr. Diehl today at a drugstore and spoke to him for quite a while. He is a wonderfully charming man. Very sweet, very down to earth. His wife had just had surgery yesterday and he was worried about her. Also, one of his dogs was very sick, and since the dog is 17 years old, he was worried that that might lose the dog. That concerned him a great deal as it was his wife's favorite. As an animal lover myself, I completely sympathised, but when I realised the depth of his love for his wife and how he wanted to spare her pain (and put his own pain aside), I was so touched.
He was SO downto earth!! I was throughly enjoying our conversation before I ever found out who he was. In telling me a story about another dog of theirs, he mentioned that he was away at a movie premire of a movie made from one of his books. When I asked what book, I was speechless when he said "Primal Fear". Then he introduced himself and shook my hand. I tried to maintain - lol. But I LOVED that movie.
It turns out that he lives about 2 miles away from me! I was so excited about my "brush with celebrity", but mostly very impressed with this wonderful man. And (as I was at a pharmacy and therefore sick and in pain), he actually made me forget about it for awhile and was soo complimentary...he made me feel good.
I was a fan before, but he has definately gained a HUGE fan for life!
Thank you Mr. Diehl! (Or Bill as you requested)
