I did meet Mel, twice. Once was at a Motion Picture Academy event that was honoring him and the other time I went to a recording session for the new Jetsons that was done in the mid-80's. I didn't really have a chance to talk to him either time, though. By the time of the Jetsons, he was having to use an oxygen tank in between takes. He was a very heavy smoker most of his life. (I'm only assuming he quit when he got to the point of needing the oxygen).

You really are a lucky guy! lol.
