That was actually the year he won the "juvenile" award.<BR/><BR/>I won third place in the "teen age" division at 16, beat out by two girls -- which was quite something for 1959!<BR/><BR/>I'd seen Chris on The Mickey Mouse Club well before the convention and was aware of his tremendous skill and presence. Had the contestants not been divided by age, he would have easily won first place overall. He was a real pro, even at 15. And what a nice guy! It was a pleasure to meet him and see him perform in person.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268013908166752176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-85995336751608935362007-04-11T13:24:00.000-07:002007-04-11T13:24:00.000-07:00Wow!
