At DFW airport I happened to drop my paper below eye level at the same time as the guy across from me allowing eye contact. I rubbed my eyes, took a drink, whatever before raising my newspaper up to start reading again.
I got a strange feeling I knew the guy-a teacher? Maybe a manager somewhere so I knew the face well enough without interacting with the person much? An Army officer from an old unit?
I dropped the paper again to try to sort out the mystery. He looked so familiar and when our eyes met he smiled from ear to ear and gave me a look that made me think he was enjoying toying with me. The paper went back up.
As I dropped the paper again to try and get a handle on who the guy was two guys came up to him with bottles from their micro brewery and said, Mister Harris, I'm so and so and this is blah-blah,would you mind autographing some bottles from our brewery?
Franco Harris played 13 years in the NFL as a running back most notably with the Steelers. He was teamed with the legendary Rocky Bleier
He always refers to that time as the day he flew on the same plane as Kevin.
