My Connection

O.K. this is pretty thin.  This brush with celebrity was truly a brush.

I was attending a meeting in the grand old hotel of Portland, Oregon, The Benson--since changed owners and names.  As I stood before the lobby elevator waiting to go up, ping, the doors opened and there stood Red Skelton, suit, hat, cane and all with two attendants at his side.

I stepped aside and said, "Good Evening, Mr. Skelton."  He replied, "Good evening." as he proceeded across the lobby and I entered the now holy elevator.

This was about 30 years ago and is still vivid in my mind.
