Title: Re: OT but worth sharing Post by Callico_Kid on Oct 28th, 2004, 2:11am Thomas, Thanks for sharing that. We see so many athletes and celebrities that are just glorified anal openings that seeing something like this really is great. A few years ago when I was driving a limousine in Chicago I had the misfortune to drive a few of these prima donnas, but one day I drove Lee Trevino for an appearance at a Jr Achievment golf benefit out at Cog Hill. When I picked him up at his hotel there were two young men who had won the honor of hosting him. Really all they were to do was to load his luggage for him and get a chance for an autograph, but when Mr Trevino got in the car he asked why they weren't getting in also. They said the car was for him and his manager, that they were going in a different car. He said, "Nonsense, get in with us" and spent the next forty-five minutes of the drive talking with them about their dreams and plans without a single thing about himself. He really made two kids day that day and made quite an impression on me as well. If there were just a few more like him I would probably still be driving! Jerry |
