September 26th, Miami to Charlotte. Hershel Walker, University of GA running back who played in the NFL with Dallas, Minnesota and Philly.
I was at the ticket counter when I noticed Hershel come up withthe bagfs of some lady. It was an elderly lady and she thanked him for helping her with her bags. Nice guy! ^ Anyway, he checks in and I'm waiting to see about getting an earlier flight. I then hear the one G/A tell another that the guy was Hershel. Long story shortened, he was up front and I was in steerage so I didn't talk to him but I did walk down the jettway behind him. Surprisingly he's not that tall about 6'1" and he didn't look thick. He looked like a guy who went to the gym regularly but nothing more.
That's my brush with fame.
