The Many Stories of Bill Fitzpatrick: Meeting Perlman on crutches

I was in Aspen after just getting out of the hospital in Ohio and was staying with Ms Delay. I decided to go to a chamber orchestra rehearsal to say hello and that�s when I ran into Perlman who looked at me as I too was on crutches and said �Hi Billy, what happened to you? Well welcome to the club! But you�re not a permanent member�. We laughed and then he took me behind the tent and started explaining to me all the things I needed to be aware of while on crutches. He must have talked to me for an hour or more. I couldn�t believe he took the time to explain these things to me. I will never forget that moment. I will always be impressed by his humanity.
