Back in 2006 in florida my grandparents met mickey carrol and got a singed picture for me and ever since then i love wizaerd of oz i collect everything

My family and I met Mickey in an Orlando Florida restaurant back in 2006. Mickey was gracious enough to take the time to stop his breakfast and talk to us. He gave us some autographed pictures and his famous ruby slippers pin. He even called me back to his table for some more talk time. As fascinating as Mickey's stories were, it was his love of life and people that came shining through. I felt I was blessed to meet him and it brought tears to my eyes when I had to leave. Some people are just truly blessed with a gift of loving and affecting each person they meet. Mickey had this gift. I have always tried to teach my son and other family children that love is what makes the world go round. Each time a person like Mickey passes, it's like a little bit of sunshine goes away. I will miss Mickey but I will always know that he is making his new friends in heaven smile the way he made all of us smile. sincerely and with love, steve s.

I had the genuine honor of meeting and talking with Mr. Carroll a few years ago at Fortunoff's in Westbury NY. He was at a Wizard of Oz Christmas event in the store signing autographs and sharing stories. I am proud to say that I have his autograph in a Wizard of Oz book written about him. THANK YOU Mr. Carroll
May God bless him for eternity on his trip down the yellow brick road...........
