Bumped into him at Coit Tower in San Francisco 20 years ago, he was old then and still dressed for Sunday.

I was at Reagan Airport in February 1993, the day of the first WTC attack. I bumped into him at the gate, and since I was a fan, I decided to make small talk with him. So I said: "What do you think about what happened at the WTC?"

Turns out he hadn't heard about it yet. I filled him in on the details from the reports I'd seen on TV. He was stunned. I felt very cool knowing about it before he did.

Anyway, we boarded, he going to first class and me going to coach.

Upon landing, I saw him in the baggage area being greeted by a limo driver and a lady that I presumed to be a staffer.

I had forgotten about that incident until just now.

May he RIP.
