Each year, I attend the local Oz-travaganza in nearby Chittenango, NY, where you could usually find Meinhardt and the last few surviving Munchkins each summer. I first met this cool dude in the late 80s at a Vegas kick-off for the video release. He had lots of funny stories to tell and adored his fans. He will be missed this year.
Fortunately, there are a few of the original 'wee' folk still with us. But, they are getting up in years. If you want to meet Jerry Maren (lollipop munchkin) or Margaret Pellegrini (Flower Pot and Sleepyhead), they'll be back here in Chittenango this summer.

He has a book out about his OZ experiences called "Memories of a Munchkin: An Illustrated Walk Down the Yellow Brick Road". Worth a read I'm sure.
