re: #278 Decatur Deb

Lived in interesting times.

When my dad’s fighter squadron returned to Cherry Point MCAS after deploying south to Florida during the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK was there to welcome them back. He greeted the pilots and then made his way to the rope line to thank the family members there. He patted me on the shoulder.

I also shared a smoke with Obama when he came down to Austin when he was doing his initial US Senate run.

Outside of the musicians and media folks you routinely run into in Austin, those are my brushes with greatness.
