Attorneys from Jackson's estate sent Waddell memorabilia, including a sequined glove, after learning that he was a huge fan.<br />STAFF PHOTO / DAN WAGNER<br /> By Gabrielle Russon<br /><br /><br />Published: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 6:06 p.m.<br /><br />Last Modified: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 6:06 p.m.<br /><br /><br />SARASOTA - James Waddell wears his shiny Michael Jackson glove on his left hand on vacation, at ballgames and practically everywhere else. <br /><br /><br />So of course Waddell asked for more Jackson music during a Christmas party last month that volunteers threw for him and other developmentally disabled residents at Community Haven.<br /><br />He got his wish with a Jackson CD.<br /><br />But the gifts kept coming for Waddell after he was featured in a holiday news story that caught the attention of the attorneys who administer Jackson's estate.<br /><br />The Los Angeles attorneys recently sent a box of Jackson memorabilia, including a collection of concert DVDs, a Wii game and a T-shirt.<br /><br />“Happy holidays and all of our best wishes for you in 2013!” said a letter written by a paralegal on behalf of attorneys John Branca and John McClain.<br /><br />Waddell was, of course, delighted. <br /><br />“He's Michael Jackson through and through,” said Kim Clark, a marketing coordinator at the Sarasota facility where Waddell, 46, has lived for 10 years. “Michael just makes him happy.”<br /><br />On Friday, Waddell put on his curly black wig and a shiny red jacket that still had a No. 44 label from last year's Halloween costume contest.<br /><br />Waddell showed off his new presents and listened to one of the concert DVDs in his living room.<br /><br />Then he danced as if nobody was watching.<br /><br />His feet shuffled on the carpet. He pumped his arms in the air and then shook his gloved left hand.<br /><br />When Jackson took off his glove and flung it on the video, Waddell did the same.<br /><br />A few minutes later, Waddell was still dancing as he headed to his job washing dishes at the Community Haven kitchen.NOTEStart<br />

    Makes me tear up. In my previous profession I had a mental health client with diability who was like this too, re: MJ. Obsessed and soemthing that just made him happy and smile! I used to greet him as ******* (his name) Jackson - He loved it. He used to bring in his posters and albums for me to look at, all of which I had at home of course. Lol<br /><br />He was a sweetie.<br /><br />

    But the gifts kept coming for Waddell after he was featured in a holiday news story that caught the attention of the attorneys who administer Jackson's estate.<br /><br />The Los Angeles attorneys recently sent a box of Jackson memorabilia, including a collection of concert DVDs, a Wii game and a T-shirt.<br /><br />“Happy holidays and all of our best wishes for you in 2013!” said a letter written by a paralegal on behalf of attorneys John Branca and John McClain.
    <br />And Branca said to Katherine, "I am Michael Jackson!"  :icon_lol: <br />This totally sounds like something MJ would and did do plenty, and does now behind the scenes.
