catching up on messages:
name: Vivian Leffler


comment: Ran into you in NYC at a diner on the upper East Side 7-22-07, so star struck! Have been such a big fan. You were so sweet to say hi. Thanks for making my day and always making me laugh.

Vivian
name: Dave Cornell

Darryl: I still can't believe you came to St. Mary's for the
Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame Day.
This is a guy who rubs shoulders with presidents and movie stars.
As I was driving up from London and not knowing what to expect,
I thought would I be able to get a picture with you or even get close?
As I approaced you and your entourage of none, You were kind enough
to pose for a picture and sign something for my fourteen year old son.
The show was great and I know that it was a long day for you.
I'd like to thank you for coming to such a small town and supporting
a community like St. Mary's. I'm sure you basically did it for free
and we appreciate all that Lorne Michaels has done for the Hall as well.
My love of sports and comedy came together on a beautiful summer day in
Southern Ontario. All I can say is when I had my brief encounter with
greatness(you), it would be the same as if you had a few seconds with
someone you really admired. You didn't let me down. You were genuine,
sincere and I'll never forget that. Getting a chance to thank you in person
for all the laughs you've given me was all I wanted and I got to do that.
I don't know if you'll ever read this, perhaps on a long flight.
If you do get a chance,Thanks again for making a fourty five year old man
write a fan letter like a fawning school girl. I'd like to wish you and
your family all the best in the future. As for selfish reasons I hope you
stay on SNL for many years. It's a great vehicle for you and there'll never
be another Darrell Hammond.
Respectfully yours,  Dave Cornell London Ontario, Canada

My Bio & Why I am running this site.
 
In 1984-1986, I live next to, and hung out with, and worked together with Darrell at BJ105 (WBJW now MIX105.5 in Orlando.  That is when I became one of his "oldest fans" and cheerleaders.
