Thanks, Greg.
I only met ol' Sam once. I was one of a series of interview subjects called to a room at the Hollywood Roosevelt one at a time. I followed Arkoff and was followed by D. Glut. Arkoff was amusing and gruff, friendly but on his way out the door. He came back a few minutes later to get his parking validated. I asked him if AIP had validated parking. "Don't be ridiculous," he said. "Of course not."
