out of the blue . . .
.
Back in the early 2000's I sent an autograph request to former Detroit Tigers' Red Borom. In the cover letter I mentioned that my wife use to live in the Dallas area, and that we would be visiting that area a month or so later. Two weeks later, out of the blue, I get a phone call from Red Borom stating that he would love to meet me at his favorite Dallas-area restaurant for breakfast (which he did daily), when my wife and I visited Dallas. He had his son-in-law search and locate my home phone number, so that he could make the call. Red asked me if it would be OK for his son-in-law to join us, since Red's eye sight was quite poor, and his son-in-law drove him around. I said that would be just fine, and we scheduled a date and time to meet. It was a lovely visit, that lasted a couple of hours. Just one of those unexpected, memorable moments that you treasure.
