Story 58
Bart Starr - I was flying from LA to Dallas a few years ago when I had the pleasure of sitting next to Bart Starr on the plane. I wasn't sure it was actually him until I glanced at his ticket, which he had placed on the arm rest while he put his bag in the overhead bin. Then I saw his Super Bowl ring and knew it was him. He was the nicest person. He never introduced himself, yet we talked for the entire flight about places we had been. As we were preparing to land I wanted to let him know I knew who he was, so I asked him whether he missed playing football. A huge smile crossed his face as he asked me if I knew who he was. In jest, I replied, "Yes. You're Johnny Unitas, aren't you?" I waited for his response, hoping he had a good sense of humor. Without missing a beat he said, "No, I'm Joe Namath!" A true class act.
