Doug, at one of the CAAS conventions in the mid 90's we used to divide up into 3 or 4 groups to be able to spend personal time with Chet where each group would be scheduled to meet in one of the small side rooms and Chet would sit up front and answer questions from the audience. What you saw is this video is very much like the way he reacted in the group I was in that day when one of the guys asked him about Lenny. After he composed himself he explained to everyone how important Lenny was in his life and how devastated he was when he heard the news of his death and that he could never predict when his emotion would surface to that extent and ended with telling us that he'd never get over it.
Lenny didn't have a "normal" life and Chet was like a father to him. In fact, Lenny's son Chet Breau used to show up on this board a few years back! I made a fool of myself once joking about his name and laughing at the combination and telling him that the next thing I knew, he'd be telling me that he was Lenny's son and was named after Chet! I felt pretty stupid when he told me that I had guessed right and wondered why I thought that was so funny?
