From Stan Lee to DU--a memory from 2009 for those who do not remember

I asked Stan to make this up for DU on one of those Spider-Man logo cards he kept in his desk drawer. And he did, of course. I sent it to Skinner, who presumably still has it. He had better! In all the years, I never asked Stan for an autograph for myself.

He found it when we were packing up the office, I asked if he was going to keep it (angling to take it myself) and he said, “uh, obviously”

I was VERY careful not to bend it while we were at lunch!

Here, many years ago, out in front of his office in BH--he called my wife and daughters "your fabulous females."
He always did have good judgment!
