Chance Quotes (7807 Quotes)

First at an autograph session that went on far longer than it was scheduled to for the simple reason that the accomplished horror master took the time to converse with each and every fan like he was visiting with an old friend. Having interviewed Barker on a number of occasions I can attest to his warmth as an interview subject. On one occasion my cameraman was late due to traffic so Barker suggested we head down to the bar in the downtown Hilton Hotel for a drink where he proceeded to sign a copy of one of his books for me, not just sign it, but sketch an original piece of his unique artwork on the blank reverse side of the title page.

So when I do agree to attend such an event, I wholeheartedly throw myself headlong into it.

    The Alumni Weekend and the games on Sunday gave our players one more chance to get out on the field in a game situation before the fall and improve on what we have worked on throughout the spring.

    Pretty much all year, we've been given the green light to be offensive if it's there, that's why we've been able to get the odd goal here and there. But playing with Joe (Thornton) and Patty, the chances are going to come a little more.
