John, I thought you were going to tell us that Larry Corcoran was a second cousin 6 times removed or something like that...

I've sat by a few celebrities on planes during my life. One time I was two seats away from Jimmy Carter. It was Jimmy in the window seat, a secret service agent on the aisle, another secret service agent on the cross aisle with me by the window. I was able to speak with the former president for a few minutes.
Also sat next to Aaron Neville on a flight.
Another time, I was in first class coming from Europe and Johnny Bench was in business class.
Oh, if this is for athletes, I did sit next to Pat Day on a flight as well as Cheryl Miller.
