PAGING JOE NAMATH....

I was at Lake Tahoe on my 18th birthday.
We were eating at a fancy restaurant when
I heard a discreet page for Joe Namath.

I looked right at my Dad and said, "Go to the
bathroom."

He looked at me like I dropped a couple of
marbles and said, "Dinner is coming and I
don't have to go, honey."

I said, "Dad, they are looking for Joe Namath
and he IS NOT here in the restaurant. Go to
the restroom and if he's there, have him come
over and say, "Hi."

Well, he wasn't in the restroom, but I'll never
forget what a good sport my Dad was.

That was a great memory Cindy. When we lived in Phoenix, there was a tiny article in the Phoenix newspaper about a lady who had a flat tire on the freeway and Charles Barkley pulled over to help her. She was awestruck by his kindness and told someone who worked for the paper and they printed it. Those are the kinds of things I like to hear about celebrities.
