Yup they were both in First. Didn't see him in the lounge at all--just sat by the gate and actually made some pretty loud/obnoxious inappropriate comments about people waiting in the gate area as well.

Hey, don't ruin my image of Pete. He was my childhood hero and at the age of 13 in 1979(MLB All-Star Game) I searched for him everywhere in the parking lot area of Seattle's Kingdome(I was working on a tip from one of the security people). He arrived driving his own rental car. I asked him if he could sign my ball and he let me carry his gear bag and signed the ball for me. Pete made small talk as we walked to the Dome. I always think of that moment in my childhood, but I've heard about thirty years of bad stories about Pete! The guy could play!

ESPN's Rece Davis

He was my F seat mate Sunday night from CLT to TPA. Headed to beef bowl in St. Pete. A really nice guy.

Sandra Day O'Connor was sitting with us in the PHX club this morning. She was very pleasant.
