It was also five years ago today that a few of us had the privilege of meeting Casey during "Casey Kasem Day" in Fenton, Michigan. I know it was without a doubt one of the highlights in my personal life, having a chance to meet my radio idol and having a couple of minutes to chat with him about countdowns and the radio industry. I only attended the afternoon movie screening and autograph session, which was quite crowded. Fortunately, by sheer luck, I was able to meet Casey in the "backstage" hallway during the movie and have a few quality minutes talking with him before he went out for his short talk and autograph session. He was very generous and kind, and I will always appreciate that. He humored me when I complimented and talked about the countdowns, and then we talked about how much radio had changed and wished me luck in my on air career (which, ironically, ended a week later) His cousin, who had put the event together, was also very nice and took a few pictures of myself and Casey together. I remember it like it was yesterday - and will forever have the memory of my moment with Casey Kasem. You are a very lucky person to meet Casey. I couldn't imagine how thrilled you must have been to meet him personally, heck I wouldn't even know what to say if I did, I'd be so starstruck! Thank you so much for sharing your story. I had a short radio career and he was always an inspiration. Impressed to hear how generous he was with his time to talk with fans, that is how I would imagine him to be and glad to know it is true. Happy Birthday and all the best to Casey and his family who deserves to see him. |

Yesterday,"Through The Decades" on the Decades Channel did a brief tribute to Casey on what would've been his 86th birthday-There was an excerpt of an interview between Casey & Harry Smith from CBS News in 1999.
