Meinhardt Raabe

Today at La Cruz Casino restaurant I met one of the Last Surviving Munchkins from the Wizard of OZ. His name is Meinhardt Raabe which is pronounced like Mineheart Robb. He was really low key and very much a realist. He has lived an extraordinary life and is very knowledgeable. It was a neat experience to see someone from such a classic film. He was also a star in Oscar Meyer commercials you can look him up on IMDB. He said something interesting about the Wizard of OZ movie set he said that the wicked witch was nicer in real life than the nice witch and the wicked witch gave him a signed picture and he has been offered $10,000 for it but it is part of a collection with other pieces so he wouldn't part with it. He lives in Florida in a Senior Home facility. But it sounded like he lived a pretty full life.
