This is slightly related so I thought I would share it. While traveling from ATL to BOS, I had to switch planes in PIT and, across from my gate was the Champ himself, Mohammed Ali, waiting for his flight to board. He was the most gracious person of his stature I have ever seen as I watched him pose for pictures with anyone who wanted one, sign autographs, shake hands, or just talk. Rather than board the plane first, as he is not a quick as he once was, he waited until everyone was one the plane and continued to meet and greet. When he finally boarded, the look on everyone's face was that they had shared a special experience.
