Skipping school in the spring of 1986 for a Twins radio promotional tour with Mike Smithson, Kirby Puckett, and Herb Carneal. We went down to the American Legion and there was only a about a dozen old timers on hand. We were the only kids and Kirby came over to our table and hung out with us all afternoon talking about everything. He made us feel so special and it was like we already knew who he was, he was so funny and such a great person. It was a magical day.
