I lived in wisconsin for a few months and in this town, LAKE GENEVA, i met the man who made D&D, i think his name was GARY GYGAX. Anyways, i say him this store named the GAME GUILD, and there was about 10 kids all playing with this about 57 or something (ancient), i asked who he was (he was the DM of course) and they said that he was the man who D&D. I am not a huge RPGier, but i found it extremely respectable that a man of that age and wealth would still , enjoy, the enjoyment of others imaginations. ANyways i gotta get back to the basement

Nope, I never met the guy, but recently my DM returned from a 9-month service in the National Guard, where he was oversees for most of the year.
When he got back, he immmediately had a return gaming session, and we presented him with a 1st edition copy of Deities and Demigods which was signed by Da Man himself, Gary Gygax.

Later on,

Never met Mr. Gygax, but the co-creator of D&D, Dave Arneson, teaches thr Rules of the Game course at Full Sail, the college I went to in Florida. He's a pretty nice guy, though I never talked to him at length.

We had him as a guest at the WarCon I directed while I was at Texas A&M. He's really a great guy and it was nice of him to come out to our 350 person college student run game con in College Station for peanuts while every game con in the country is trying to get him.
