This is a story I heard
In the 1990's; when many of the Beckett analysts were also autograph chasers; John Wooden came to Dallas and many of the guys picked up graphs which Wooden graciously signed.
One of the cards featured John and his beloved Nell. From what I was told; Mr. Wooden looked at the card; choked up a bit and said; you know that was the only woman I was ever with and will be the only woman I was ever with. Rare to find such dedication to being faithful, especially from one who was so successful. Mr. Wooden led a great life, and may he truly RIP and may he and Nell be reunited quickly Regards Rich

Sad to hear, Wooden was one of the classiest guys in the business.
Not much more to say. RC

A real man of class and a great human being. We are all diminished by his passing.
