I have a Battle Flag that I wear every day - it's a tattoo on my left arm with the word "Tennessee" under it.
Years ago, I was at a Bill Cosby Concert and was introduced to John Forsythe. He saw the tattoo and asked if I was from Tennessee. When I said I was, he asked what part and I told him "All of me, of course." He broke out laughing.
You met the elusive "Charlie" at a Cosby show? Wow!
