Charlie listened to what I had to say and was quick to point out that over the years many people had used his famous photo without his permission. His faith in me in making this commemorative happen remains one of the highlights of my career. One of the defining moments in our relationship was the look on Charlie's face when I showed him an image from the original footage of him in the act of taking his historic shot (as depicted in the image on the right).

Another Memorable MomentIn September of 2016 my wife and I hosted a dinner to celebrate Doug Norman's 80th birthday. Doug and his good wife, Marg, resided in Chicago; however, Doug was born in Vancouver and witnessed the Miracle Mile first hand as a young boy. It was his favourite moment in time. Unbeknownst to Doug, we also invited Charlie and his wife, Doreen, to dinner that night. When Doug found out who Charlie was, he was over the moon.
