I am not a frequent poster to the guest book, but a few posts back I read about Derek's kindness to kids and how it seems so important to him to connect with his young fans. Well, I went to a ABB show back in March with my young son, brother and nephew. We were out to dinner at a restaurant (Cesca - behind the Beacon) and in walks Derek and Susan. My son and nephew ask if they can get their autographs - I hesitated at first because I did not want to intrude on their privacy and dinner - but finally said ok if they showed their best manners and asked in a polite way. Derek and Susan were thrilled to accomodate, signed their tickets and had a short conversation with them. I watched from afar the smiles all around. He really made their day (and made for an unforgettable moment for the kids).
