My second cousin met him when he was working in a recording studio in New York as a sound engineer. Paul was there because James was recording an album. They weren't allowed to ask for autographs or pictures because it would be unprofessional. My second cousin said he positioned himself so he would walk past him and he said Paul was so nice and was quite short. He said Paul made small talk and asked him if he played any instruments and what school he went too. He said James wasn't so nice because he ignored everybody. I said isn't he shy and he said no because of the tone of voice and James slammed the door. Also one of the late Ravi Shankar's students who I talked to who played at the Concert For George(he played sitar during the Arpan) met Paul and said he felt Paul was arrogant. He said Ringo was nice and George was the best of all three Beatles. George was very private too he said. HE said Paul wasn't arrogant to him but he had a feeling Paul was that way.
I thought Paul was 5'11"?????? Short?
I'm 5'8" and Paul and I were eye to eye. When you hit 70, you tend to shrink some.
shrinkage?
Yes, unfortunately shrinkage is a fact of life, but I'm still having a hard time with 3 inches. That's a LOT!!!!
ok... We are laughing about a different type of shrinkage.
In either case, 3 inches is a lot. I should say that I'm 5'8 1/2", and if Paul was more 5'10 1/2" or a flat 5'10", that might be closer to realistic. He was wearing sneakers/trainers, not his high-heeled Beatle boots when I met him, so I know that his actual height nowadays is closer to 5'8 1/2".
-
Ringo is 5" 8 , and Paul is clearly taller than him. There's no way he has shrunk 3 inches. My dad is 75 and has lost an inch at most...

shrinkage?
As I wrote it I knew someone would pick up on that. Well done for being the first.
-
Yes we do shrink as we get older. I imagined Paul to be about my height 5'8 1/2.

I had my first-ever dream about Paul about two or three months ago. It seemed so real that I was literally angry when I'd awakened and realized it was just a dream. In the dream, I had somehow found myself in this accidental opportunity to be his Exec. Asst., and I was terrified of making any blunders. He was coyly observing how I handled everything but not uttering a word until he'd fully assessed me. It reminds me of a job I had in real life when I assisted a Ph.D./M.D. at a medical college/research lab. And, yes, I did kick ass in that job, but that's beside the point.

I've been lucky enough to meet him--very nice guy. He let me ramble on for a bit before he signed my arm. It wasn't during a concert, though! No waffles here...
I'll never forget that day!~ ops:
Me neither.

I am DYING to know what your signs said (and how you managed to get Paul to nipotice you all those times)????!!!! I am planning on making a HUGE sign when I see him this time and hopefully catch his attention, but I would love any advice! Thanks!!!
-
I have met him about 6 or 7 times i lose track how many exactly, mainly book and record signings but also at TV apearances as well
-
He autographed a collage picture I drew of him. Pointing to me to hand it up to him is what really made me feel good
-
Closest I came was in 1976 at Cow Palace. I was lucky enough to be at the front of the stage during the concert, and he made eye contact with me a few times. I thought I might get close enough to see him or meet him at the Walk Of Fame presentation in Hollywood last year. But they had the sidewalk blocked off and many police and security. Couldn't get near him.
