Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring friends meeting celebrities.
Today's post is bittersweet. It brings a great memory and a sad reality.
I go to the throwback machine to recall when my then-little cousin Noah joined me "On the Beat" at Wizard World (now Fan Expo). It was fun seeing young teen Noah mix it up with the creators in Artist Alley. Noah did a few interviews. With really little prep, Noah handled the interviews like a pro. I was so impressed.
Noah was a good kid and is now a great young man. I don't see him often, but I follow him on social media. He's got a great future. I hope he looks back on these experiences and smiles like I do.
Now the sad part. The artist here is Scott Blair. Sadly, Scott died last year. He was a tremendous talent and just an awesome person. I think of Scott every time I walk through Artist Alleys now. Scott is missed by all/
