Same thing happened to me in early 1992 when he gave a talk/demo
in South Coast Plaza on how to draw (hot-blooded) dinosaurs.  I
just couldn't any words out besides the original, "SO nice to meet
you!"  But he was very gracious and signed my copy of THE DINOSAUR
HERESIES.  He seems like a very nice man.
