Sam is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Technologically challenged but he has been documenting pinball probably longer than anyone. He knows more about the history of the game in detail than almost anybody else (Exceptions: Jim Schelberg, Tim Arnold, Clay Harrell, Rob Berk, Steve Young, Etc.).

You should be honored to be able to learn from this man.

Also, the Special When Lit video was made at a moment in time. Those were important people in pinball at the time, but things like this change. PinGeek and guys like Gene Cunningham have a lot less impact on the pinball scene now.

Sam will go on as a Pinball legend beyond the day he takes his last breath!
