Celebrity Sighting DFW International

Well (and that's a deep subject), my four hour shift as a DFW Ambassador
today was a target rich environment, with regards to good looking femme
fatales and celebs.  I met a tall and good looking lady in her 30's from
England (Nottingham to be exact), as she was in DFW for a layover before
heading back to England via Newark NJ.  She had just finished a long
stretch of flight from Lima, Peru, where she spent some time on vacation.
 I also ran into a Moslem woman, originally from Nigeria (having lived
the last 14 years in the states).  I gave her a reason to "vent" some
frustration at how she was handled by screeners in Baltimore's airport.
She understands the need for security, but she felt that she was singled
out because of her Moslem last name.  Me thinks there could have been
some truth to problems she might have with "profiling", which
unfortunately is necessary in the post 9.11 times.  I also met one of my
favorite Country & Western singers, that being Charlie Pride.  I met him
in the main concourse near gate A9.  I almost passed him without
realizing who he was.  He probably wanted anonymity.  I shook his hand 15
years ago, when I met him at a bi-district high school playoff game, when
his sons were playing for Dallas Jesuit High School.  My old alma mater
(Arlington High School) was Jesuit's opponent, and we won.  On that
night, he seemed rather cold, but the more I think back about it, the
fact his sons were participating in a losing effort might have had
something to do with it.  My station for the four hour stint was near
gate A-9.  They couldn't have asked me to work at a better observation
area.  I had good looking flight attendants (women <grin>) and women
travelers, a celebrity to say hello to, and a great viewing point for
watching the aircraft taxi across Zulu bridge.

Hope everyone had a great day?
