Last night we met Denise and Alan for dinner at a very small local restaurant. Well during dinner Denise and Alan both recognized the couple sitting next to us (tables are only 1 foot away from each other so it's almost like we're all at one table). The man on the other side of us recognized them too and went over and started talking to him. He is the man who was featured on DATELINE recently who is the musician for all the movies (also an instructor at UCLA) and had a brain tumor. DATELINE featured the entire operation including waking him up during the surgery to play music to him. Unfortunately, Tom and I didn't see this particular DATELINE but I'm sure Denise can fill you in on the details that I can't.

He and his wife were both so nice and it was nice talking to them. As popular as DATELINE is, I'm sure many of you probably saw this episode. I sure have a lot of respect and admiration for this man!!
