Wichitan Talks About Friendship With Michael Jackson

By Kim Wilhelm (WICHITA, Kan.)

He had Michael Jackson's direct private phone number. During the 1990's, it wasn't unusual for Wichitan Rob Swinson to talk to and spend time with Jackson. Swinson was National Sales Manager for Chance Rides in Wichita and remembers the day he received a phone call asking about a merry-go-round.

"I remember telling the office, ‘I think I just got a call from somebody representing Michael Jackson,'" said Swinson.

At that time, Jackson was just thinking about building Neverland Valley Amusement Park and ordered a custom carousel and a train. Swinson developed a friendship with the pop superstar and became his personal Amusement Ride Consultant and Park Developer. Swinson says Jackson was one of the kindest, most good-hearted people he's ever known.

"I was one of the privileged few to be able to know Michael personally and share those one on one times with him," said Swinson. "I guess one of the reasons Michael and I bonded so well and enjoyed working together is the fact we were both perfectionists."

Swinson has hundreds of pictures of Jackson's Neverland Valley Amusement Park - from the early stages to final completion. He says Jackson would bus in hundreds of sick, disabled and L. A. Inner City children so they could enjoy the park.

On the walls in Swinson's home are pictures of him and Jackson together. He has many autographed items and has collected anything and everything to do with Jackson over the years - from Jackson 5 and Thriller albums to newspaper and tabloid articles written about the superstar. Swinson laughed when he showed a tabloid article published when Neverland was being built. It showed aerial pictures of the grounds and speculated how Jackson was building a golf course.

"They had no idea but they printed this anyway," said Swinson.

Swinson would stay at the ranch during his business trips. He even has a laminated phone extension list so he'd know how to get a hold of ranch staff. One listing gives an extension number with "MJ office". He remembers getting a call from Jackson after a big European concert.

"He should've been exhausted from a big performance but all he wanted to know about was how the rides were coming along," said Swinson.

He says he never thought of Jackson as a huge star. To him, he was a friend.
"He called me ‘The Maker of Dreams,'" said Swinson. "I made his Neverland dreams come true."

But after being accused of molesting children, Swinson says Jackson wasn't the same. Neither was Neverland.
"It was all gone," said Swinson. "It was very sad. Very sad."

One of the Neverland rides was in Sedgwick County during the fair. Swinson says it was Jackson's favorite "wild action" ride - the Zipper. After the park closed, the rides were sold off.
Swinson says Jackson's death was difficult to take. He flew to California last week to pay his respects at Neverland Ranch and cried when he watched the memorial on TV. He was especially touched when Brooke Shields talked about Jackson looking down on them from a crescent moon. "Blue Boy sitting in a crescent moon" was one of the logos Jackson used at Neverland Valley Amusement Park and on ranch memorabilia, and Swinson believes that's what Shields was referring to.

"He always wanted to be remembered as a person, not as a personality," said Swinson.

"His friends, family and fans will miss him very much."

他有mj的私人电话号码。90年代期间，Wichitan Rob Swinson经常和mj在一起聊天。Swinson是威奇托市的乘骑设施全国销售经理，他回忆起一个询问有关旋转木马的电话。

"I remember telling the office, ‘I think I just got a call from somebody representing Michael Jackson,'" said Swinson.
“我记得我告诉办公室说'我想我刚接到了一个mj的代表打来的电话'”，Swinson说。

At that time, Jackson was just thinking about building Neverland Valley Amusement Park and ordered a custom carousel and a train. Swinson developed a friendship with the pop superstar and became his personal Amusement Ride Consultant and Park Developer. Swinson says Jackson was one of the kindest, most good-hearted people he's ever known.

"I was one of the privileged few to be able to know Michael personally and share those one on one times with him," said Swinson. "I guess one of the reasons Michael and I bonded so well and enjoyed working together is the fact we were both perfectionists."
“我是为数不多有幸与迈克尔有私交并与他私下共处的人”，Swinson说。“我想我和迈克尔合得来并喜欢一起工作的一个原因就是我们都是完美主义者。”

Swinson has hundreds of pictures of Jackson's Neverland Valley Amusement Park - from the early stages to final completion. He says Jackson would bus in hundreds of sick, disabled and L. A. Inner City children so they could enjoy the park.
Swinson有杰克逊的梦幻庄园游乐场的几百张照片-从早期阶段的到最后完工的。他说杰克逊会用汽车把数百名病人，残疾人和洛杉矶市中心儿童请进来，让他们在游乐场游玩。

On the walls in Swinson's home are pictures of him and Jackson together. He has many autographed items and has collected anything and everything to do with Jackson over the years - from Jackson 5 and Thriller albums to newspaper and tabloid articles written about the superstar. Swinson laughed when he showed a tabloid article published when Neverland was being built. It showed aerial pictures of the grounds and speculated how Jackson was building a golf course.
Swinson家墙上挂着他与杰克逊的合影。他收藏有许多签名物件，多年来收集了所有与杰克逊有关的东西-从杰克逊五兄弟到颤栗专辑再到关于这位巨星的报纸和小报文章。当Swinson展示一篇发表于梦幻庄园兴建时的小报文章时，他笑了。它展示了这块地的俯拍照片和并猜测了杰克逊如何建造一个高尔夫球场。

"They had no idea but they printed this anyway," said Swinson.
“他们在毫不知情的情况下就把文章这样发表了”，Swinson说。

Swinson would stay at the ranch during his business trips. He even has a laminated phone extension list so he'd know how to get a hold of ranch staff. One listing gives an extension number with "MJ office". He remembers getting a call from Jackson after a big European concert.
Swinson在杰克逊商务旅行时会守在庄园。他甚至有个叠层电话分机名单，以便于联系到庄园的人。一个名单上给出了mj办公室的分机号码。他记得接到一个杰克逊在大型欧洲演唱会后打来的电话。

"He should've been exhausted from a big performance but all he wanted to know about was how the rides were coming along," said Swinson.
“他在大型演出后本该感到疲惫的，但他一心只想乘骑的事情进展的怎么样了”，Swinson说。

He says he never thought of Jackson as a huge star. To him, he was a friend.
"He called me ‘The Maker of Dreams,'" said Swinson. "I made his Neverland dreams come true."
他说他从未把杰克逊当做一个巨星。对他来说，杰克逊是一个朋友。“他叫我‘梦想缔造者’，”Swinson说。“我让他的梦幻庄园梦想变成现实。”

But after being accused of molesting children, Swinson says Jackson wasn't the same. Neither was Neverland. "It was all gone," said Swinson. "It was very sad. Very sad."
Swinson说在娈童案后杰克逊就变了，梦幻庄园也不同从前了。“都没有了，”Swinson说。“真的很伤心。”

One of the Neverland rides was in Sedgwick County during the fair. Swinson says it was Jackson's favorite "wild action" ride - the Zipper. After the park closed, the rides were sold off. Swinson says Jackson's death was difficult to take. He flew to California last week to pay his respects at Neverland Ranch and cried when he watched the memorial on TV.

"Blue Boy sitting in a crescent moon" was one of the logos Jackson used at Neverland Valley Amusement Park and on ranch memorabilia, and Swinson believes that's what Shields was referring to.
展览会期间，其中的一个梦幻庄园乘骑在Sedgwick县，Swinson说那是杰克逊最喜欢的“野”马-Zipper。游乐场关闭后，乘骑也被贱卖了。Swinson说他无法接受杰克逊的死。上周他飞到加州并到梦幻庄园致敬，当在电视上观看追悼会时他哭了。尤其是当波姬小丝说杰克逊正在一轮新月上看着他们时他被深深打动。“忧伤男孩坐在一轮新月上”是杰克逊用在游乐场和庄园纪念物上的其中一个标语，Swinson相信波姬小丝指的就是这个。

"He always wanted to be remembered as a person, not as a personality," said Swinson.
"His friends, family and fans will miss him very much."
“他一直想被当做一个人而不是一个名人被记住，”Swinson说。“他的朋友，家人和歌迷会非常想念他的。”
