Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich from the TV series Barney Miller was in the house Friday night at the Alton Argosy Casino. Steve Landesberg was on hand for the first of two nights of stand-up comedy at the Casino.

After a tip from a guard outside, we learned that Landesberg was dining inside the facility. We found the restaurant and waited until he finished his meal. Just before he arrived at the front door of the restaurant, he stopped and gladly signed two 8 x 10 photos and took this photograph. One of the photographs was from comedian Jonathan Winters' 80th birthday celebration. It was a photo he hadn't seen and he took a few minutes to recall the event for us.
