Make-A-Wish: Chairman of Nintendo
Gregory as chairman
Here's a wish that should be appreciated by video game buffs everywhere.
Gregory, a 10-year-old in western New York, wished to be chairman of Nintendo for a day.
Gregory was flown to Seattle and dressed in a gray power suit. (See the picture for his fancy threads.) When he arrived at Nintendo HQ, he was given a company briefcase. A bit of nepotism soon came into play as his 9-year-old brother was named as Head of Security.
Gregory started working and met with board members. Being such an avid video game buff, he surely had plenty to share. Of course, he also stopped by the game development and testing departments.
Oh, and by the way, being chairman of Nintendo also brings with it partial ownership of the Seattle Mariners. Gregory received a baseball bat signed by Ken Griffey Jr.
