Subject: The Loss of Trevor Goddard is Our Loss as Well
One of the highlights of Fanfest 2002 was meeting Trevor Goddard. I worked at the "Mac on JAG" booth which was right next to the booth for Trevor Goddard, where he greeted fans and signed autographs. Being in that location gave me a unique perspective to watch him interact with the fans. He was truly amazing as he conversed with each one. With each conversation, autograph or picture made that I observed he focused his attention on the fan he was meeting with at
the time, conveying so much sincerity, warmth, and true graciousness, making him/her feel like a million dollars.
Steven Culp, the character on JAG who portrays Clayton Webb, stopped by to warmly greet Trevor on his way out, and I have some great photographs of the two of them together. Steven was obviously glad to see him.
When I came home, and told family or friends/JAG fans who I was able to see and meet at Fanfest, many had reservations about Trevor Goddard because of the character he played--most of them were not huge fans of the character Trevor portrayed, Mic Brumby. I told each one what an incredible person he was and what a privilege it had been to see him welcome so many who stood in line to meet him.
So it is with a deep sense of sadness that I heard the news today. That brief encounter with him last year made a tremendous impression on me. The thoughtfulness and sincere appreciation which seemed to come so naturally to him are such rare qualities in this day and age. As Kat Rose said so eloquently, he was a gracious man with a big heart.
My heartfelt condolences and prayers go to his family and friends.
Scotty
