RIP Eddie and Meinhardt

This week, Hollywood lost two legends.

First, was the loss of Eddie Carroll. He was the voice we all know and love as Disney's Jiminy Cricket.

The second, was the loss of Meinhardt Raabe, who was the coroner from "The Wizard of Oz". He is the one who announces that 'the Wicked Witch is dead".

I feel lucky that I had a chance to meet BOTH of these people before they passed. I met Eddie about a year ago, and Meinhardt a few years before that. I'm not sure where the picture of Meinhardt and I is right now (it was taken on "film"...gasp! so it's probably not scanned in yet...), but below is a picture of Eddie and I.
