This just popped into one of my feeds - I think that it's a great story about a someone meeting the man.

@cjust

There was a signing at a shipping centre close to where I worked. We never get signings here in South Africa. I thought ah well what's the point of going. I'm going to stand in a queue and then have this tired person sign my book. I was actually in the shopping centre in the day of the signing and saw Sir Terry and that has forever been a regret of mine that I didn't stand in the queue. Because his writing has meant something for me. Because of the compassion in the way he presented marginalised peoples.

And I missed the opportunity to say thank you.

@Weanerdog @cjust He spoke at UCT while I was a student there. It’s still a treasured memory.
