I’ll tell you this: I do not agree with much of what Oprah appears to believe, politically or culturally.

But tomorrow, if her entire life just fell apart, she’d probably pick herself up and begin all over again.

I admire that.

Her program, though my wife loves it, makes me want to run for the castor oil. Ugh.

I tend to agree. I never had any interest in Oprah’s show or her opinions, but I admire her business acumen and her tenacity.

I drove Limo's in Dallas while I was in College. During the lead up to the Law Suite the Cattlemen filed against her she was coming here to some place that did mock trials. She traveled under a false name and wore these long dreadlock wigs so the media wouldn't know she was here and tip off the opposing attorneys that they were running mock trials. 

One night I was driving her in a town car from the Four Seasons to Love Field where her plane was and it was storming bad. It was like driving through a fire hose. At the 183 and Mockingbird exit a pick-up hydroplaned through the intersection and got smashed by a dump truck.  She tapped me on the shoulder and asked me my name. I told her and she asked me if I knew who she was. I told her I did and she said , "good, if we end up standing in line in front of the Golden Gates I want to make sure I know somebody!"

I told her that I would get her to her plane safely and not to worry.

Six months later I met her again at her plane at Love Field, she got off the plane, hugged me, greeted me by name and treated me like an old friend.

I had clients that I drove weekly for a year that never learned my name. That told me everything I need to know about that woman and I wish her best of luck in all her endeavors.
