I've got a lot of great stories about celebrities and other notable people from my years of driving Limos in the DFW area.

About 10 years ago Mr. Stewart was in Dallas just before his death. He was Staying at the Crescent Court and I happened to be there to take some people to the Airport. While I was waiting Mr. Stewart came out of the Hotel to get into his Limo (the driver told me he refused to ride in the back, always rode in the front seat); before he got into the car two Air Force Officers cut him off and asked him to swear them in for their re-enlistment.

Stewart snapped to attention, recited the oath from memory and then signed their papers. They both gushed about what an honor it was for them to be sworn in by him while he explained the honor was all his. I felt the honor was all mine from having witnessed the entire thing.

Interesting story, but officers don't re-enlist. They do, however, swear an oath with each promotion.
