I got to meet Amy at Konocti Harbor in CA back in... '91? (Corrina was a baby, still being carried in an infant carrier). My girlfriend Cathy and I had been wandering around the resort that day hoping for a glimpse of Vince, and we spotted him and the "girls" seated in the restaurant!! We couldn't believe it. We waited, and when they came out after Vince paid the bill (Yes - he waited at the register and paid the bill like a normal person... don't you just love it!!??) Amy came walking right towards us, carrying Corrina. I stuck my hand out and she took it and I said "Hi Amy" and she looked at me earnestly and said, "... HI! and you are... " (like she was trying to remember who I was!) I blubbered ""I'm Hilary - I'm just a HUGE Vince fan" and she said "Oh, so am I" with a big smile. Anyway - Vince finally ambled out towards us and she said "Honey, this is Hilary and her friend Cathy." I still can't get over that - how gracious she was. After a few flabbergasted starstruck moments, I managed to ask if we could have our picture with Vince... and I fumbled with my camera so bad Amy finally said "Here - let me help you" and took my camera and actually took the photo of me, Vince and Cathy!! That picture was on the fan club website for a while... I should try to dig it out to share with you all again. It was unbelievable. I was so impressed by Amy's patience and kindness.

And I still kick myself that I didn't get her picture too. What a dunce.
