<BR>I have never met Don Rosa; although I have had minimal contact with him for
<BR>decades through mail, email and apas. (the email and mail contacts probably
<BR>number less than a dozen in over 20 years). My few contacts with him have
<BR>found that he is a gracious courteous person, who has gone out of his way to
<BR>be helpful to me. I have never found him bitter or myopic... (unless you
<BR>mean that he has eye problems, that I don't know...)
<BR> More importantly to Disney comics, he is an excellent teller of tales,
<BR>and one of the best of the contributors that I saw in Gladstone / Disney
<BR>comics.
<BR> On the other hand, I have no idea why he stays on this list....
