yep, that’s me on TV. and that’s really charlie rose. it’s not even a photoshop trick. we were in the same room, with tv cameras and everything.
thanks to everyone who emailed me about the appearance, and most especially thanks to all the heart parents who took time to write. hearing your stories is always a gift, thank you.
as to everyone else. . .well. . . i have eight minutes and twelve seconds of fame remaining. what now?
What a wonderful and informative interview, Max. I thought you were very well-spoken, not surprising, judging from your website captions. Thanks for sharing your story with him, and I hope people continue to appreciate the book.
Wow! What you have given all those people with heart disease is to open up and inform the public about frequency of heart disease in young children. Just like the child who said “he looks like me” when observing your photographs, a person has some identification to relate to and understand how these children feel. I have seen in other illnesses how important it is to a person with an ongoing illness for people to understand and be aware of their illness. You have given a gift with this service of your book.
You’re such a real person Max! How refreshing. Charlie Rose, bless him, is like some kind of robot, such a “personality” in contrast to your sincerity. What’s with the shuffling of papers while you’re talking? I could slap him. You, of course, are well spoken and a pure delight. Charlie Rose is lucky to have had 6:48 minutes of your fame!
Terrific interview Max (where did you get that PR training) - … but even better images!
congratulations on your book and your few minutes of fame
