I took my young daughter to the movies in Century City to see a Cosby film.
We happened to end up sitting in front of Magic Johnson. He recognized me before I recognized him.  . My daughter was never convinced that it was him.I’ve always felt glad that we were sitting in front of him, rather than behind him.

One of my track coaches in high school was a former Olympic sprinter (for Jamaica in 1992).
Not professional, but I used to work with a guy who tackled Antonio Brown in college; he was the kicker, Brown was the punt returner. We used to joke about that tackle was what made him start going crazy. The judge that my mom used to clerk had paid his way through law school by playing minor league baseball in the Tigers organization. He never made the majors, but was a very well-respected judge.

Mid-80's, bought Freddie Solomon a drink when he was sitting at a near-by table in a San Francisco restaurant. As we were leaving, we passed his table, he stood up to thank us and we spoke for a few minutes. I patted his arm as we left, and it felt like I was hitting a brick wall. The man was solid muscle. And also, a down-to-earth guy. Also, passed too soon.

When I was young my dad would tell me that when he a young science student at the University of Minnesota he got to meet legendary Danish physics Nobel Prize winner Niels Bohr, which for a science student is the equivalent of meeting a movie star of the President. My dad said that the Danish Bohr's accent was so thick he had no clue what Bohr was saying.
When my dad later had Alzheimer's, I told him about the incident and he could no longer remember it. He said "Is that true?," and I said, "Sure, you used to tell me about it often." He thought for a second then said "That's a pretty good story."
