(10,754 posts)I still remember when I was in school and Happy Days was the one show all us kids watched, and then talked about the next day. Years later I met Winkler when I was working at an art gallery in LA. He was easy to talk to, really put people at ease just like you were talking to a neighbor. I guess you could say - he was cool.
