Our Visit With Randy
Saturday, May 12th, 2007
Randy Skretvedt is the author of Laurel and Hardy: The Magic Behind the Movies, the single greatest book on Laurel and Hardy ever written – and probably one of my all-time favorite books overall.

My camera did go along though, and snapped some adorable shots of Adam in his swimming gear. 
On Tuesday morning, February 13, 2007, I spent the morning tinkering around Bob’s place. He had to work a half-day, so I got up, leisurely got ready for the day, ate some bags of chips off his couch, and browsed his autograph collection. He had a box of stuff he wanted me to look through to see if I wanted any of it. Around 11:00 or so, Bob came home and we headed to Yorba Linda, CA to see the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace. This was my second visit to his library, the first being when I visited California in
