It's funny, I was just telling my wife today (before we heard the news) that when I was 6 or 7 I actually met Adam West and got an autographed picture of him in the Batmobile. Wish I could find that!
The series was still running at the time and the Batmobile was on display at the WALY Jamboree, a country radio shindig in Herkimer, NY featuring Norm Wilson and the Country Gentlemen and other local talent. We were there because my Dad was the chief engineer for the station, and I don't remember much else besides meeting Batman, but it's one of those things that makes an imprint on your life and has a special meaning, especially today.
Godspeed Caped Crusader!
