Most of you have heard of the adage, “we all get 15 minutes of fame.” Well this happened to Mr. Ken last week. He was quoted in an article about a castle in Summit New Jersey.

Sadly, the castle was torn down many years ago to make room for an access road.

My 15 minutes of fame, sad to say, was a 6:30 am TV interview in the dead of winter at the local train station, a reporter surprised me and asked me my views on the latest fare hikes.

What was your 15 minutes of fame?
