Didn't one of the kids just become police chief of a town up there?

Did the 'Jaws experience' at Universal Pictures theme park in Florida, complete with mechanical shark 'attacking' the boat. Got to admit the guide was very funny provoking panic and saying "..use the kids as a shield!".
I was also mistaken for Steven Spielberg (had a beard and little round glasses at the time) by a family who I overheard debating whether to approach me for an autograph.

Also one of the best Bond villains ever.

Yeah he had a pretty impressive CV. I’m surprised he managed it given that he had ten kids!
