Zig Ziglar died a couple days ago. Did any OC'ers ever attend one of his motivational speaking seminars?

He was at the one I went to in Columbus a couple years ago, but his mind was already so far gone, that it was more sad than motivational. It seemed like his family was just trying to squeeze every last penny they could get out of him, by putting him out there in his condition.

He did some short stop at Discover Card in New Albany 10+ years ago. I think he was speaking to businesses during a flight layover in Columbus. He came and visited the training department for like 20 minutes then was gone.

He was just a big fuck up. I wanted to punch him in the face every time he was on.

+1 and Reps. Season 4 was ok but I wasn't a big fan how it was centered around the kids.

I think I would go with season 4 of the wire as well. Every season was great except 5 though.

On the original topic never saw him live but had to watch some tapes of his for my DECA class.
