We saw Dallas Cowboys former head coach and current assistant Dave Campo at the DFW Terminal A AC this AM.
Not a very large man!

Kenny G was sitting right behind me in 4B today on AA 793, LAX to SFO. Two saxophones in the overhead. Gig in Hotel Nikko @ SF tonight.

Yes, before the Forum. specifically, @ the Sports Center. They had seats next to each other in the stands before they hit the big time and moved courtside. I used to see them all the time at the Forum when I was a kid (unlike those two, I am too young for the pre-Forum days). Have a large # of Nicholson signed tix somewhere in my house...
Was it a gas?
I wonder if she keeps the FA job for benefits - in my CO days I knew more than one person who didn't have to work for purely financial reasons, but did so at CO for the flight benefits (especially for their families).
Back in the days before free agency, before the salaries of baseball players rose to their current astronomical, I remember the case of Dave Kingman, a slugger who played for the San Francisco Giants and later at the New York Mets. Kingman worked every off-season for UA at SFO and later the New York airports, as a TA and in the baggage office. He was once interviewed about it in the SF Chronicle, and he said that the travel benefits for his relatives was a major reason for choosing that particular off-season job (at least it beats the off-season job of Pirates player Richie Hebner, who worked at the cemetery where his father was the grounds manager - Hebner's job was to literally dig graves, which I suppose worked like a conditioning program of sorts.

Mark McGwire and Darrell Evans both have more 400 home runs and are not in the Hall of Fame. I would imagine Kingman never made it as he usually led the league in outs and batted below .230. He also had 300 more strikeouts than hits in his career.

I saw the Victoria's Secret top model Alessandra Ambrosio. She always flyes American. Unfortunately, she didn't seat by my side.

Sheryl Crow in the LHR FL and on AA107 tonight. I saw her party arrive at the FL escorted by special services but didn't recognize her. People on the plane were talking about her being there when I boarded. Saw her while she was waiting on her checked bags.

Manny Ramirez and his wife in F LAX to STL Jul 12th. He was very gracious, both in the lobby at LAX and on the plane, signing autographs, taking pictures and chatting. Sadly, I didn't even know who he was, obviously famous, but my baseball knowledge stops in the 80s!

Keanu Reaves on 7/12 in the FL at JFK, arriving off AA30 from LAX. Had "MAARS" I believe written on his sheet at the front desk, which I assume is some sort of priority service?
