    From Joe Comer: The story is that Boris was so ill at the time of this show that he rested off-stage in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank. But when it came time for him to go on he would arise from that chair as though he was 40 years younger and give a great show!!!

      That's true of nearly everything Boris was in for the last five eyars or so of his life. But with his back and arthritis trouble, and emphysema and with only half a lung, he still managed like the trooper he was!

      I also met him at a Subway Commercial shooting In Milwaukee Wisconsin back in the late 80's. I actually got to sit down and talk with him. We talked about cooking and Art and of course his GREAT Movies! The Dr. Fibes movies are my Favs!... I had a copy of one of his cook books and brought it with me to have him sign it. It's one of my ALL TIME Treasured Possessions!
      What's REALLY Weird is... the night he died... I had a dream about him. We were sitting and talking but NOT in a Subway Sub shop but what looked to be what I assumed was his home. The very next morning when I woke up and turned on the Radio... they announced that "The GREAT Vincent Price had passed away!"
      I went to work very saddened... but I also felt like.. for SOME REASON... He and I connected that night in my dream!
      He will ALWAYS BE One of my ALL TIME FAVS! He was a MASTER At his Craft! Too bad they didn't have those "MASTER CLASSES" Back then because
      I SURELY WOULD HAVE Attended his! Boris too! ANOTHER One of my ALL TIME FAVS!!! :D

      I met Vincent Price while he was on a lecture tour in Greensboro, NC. I was about 14 years old and went with my dad.This was right around the time he did the narration for Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. The name of the lecture was “The Villain Still Pursues Me” and he talked about his amazing life and career for about two hours, only taking a drink of water several times throughout. He spoke very warmly about Boris Karloff and also joked around about his newfound popularity with “Thriller”.
      Upon leaving, we saw a limo parked at the backstage door and thought we’d wait around a few minutes in the hope of catching Mr.Price as he left. Sure enough, after about five minutes the legend of horror came striding out of the back of the theatre in a black overcoat and approached me first! Very tall, striking fellow and it was like a scene out of one of his films. He spoke first and all I could do was cordially greet him and shake his hand. It was the first famous person I’d ever met and I was a little bit starstruck. What a warm, gracious person he was. He took a moment to chat with a few others who had gathered there. My dad asked him where he was headed now and he said “Going to New York”. Sure enough, a few days later we saw him featured on some sort of all star tribute to Broadway.
