[QUOTE="mayo44, post: 486763"] I used to do security at the Regency Suites (where the KI center is). Packers were having their team awards banquet there. I went to the restroom to wash my hands and right at the next sink was Donald Driver. I didn't say anything but when I looked up at the mirror he looked at me in the mirror and smiled. He said something like, "It's a nice night for January, isn't it?" I said, "That it is." Then I couldn't resist asking a big question. This was 2004, shortly after he signed his big contract. So I asked him, "Well, what do you think? Is Brett coming back next year?" DD laughed and said, "Well, I couldn't say for sure, but he did tell me before the season that if I signed on for a new deal he'd play at least another 3 years." I think he wished me a nice evening and that was pretty much that. On September 12, 2000, at about 8:00 in the morning, I was was getting some donuts at "Donut Connection" which used to be a couple blocks south of Lambeau on Oneida St. As soon as I got out of my truck and started walking toward the store, I saw an older guy walking straight toward me with a box of donuts. On a second look, I recognized who it was. I was debating in my mind whether to say anything when to my surprise he said to me, "Good morning, young man." So I said, "Good morning, Mr. Starr!" He asked me, "So are you going to be voting on the stadium tonight?" I said, "Yes sir, and I intend to vote "Yes." He said, "That's good to hear." I asked him if he thought it was going to pass or not and he gave a big grin and said (and this is absolutely verbatim), "Well, if the Lord's willing it will, and we all know He's a Packer fan, now don't we?" I laughed and said, "That we do." At that point he got into his Cadillac and wished me a nice day. Bart is a very charming man and I feel blessed to have had the chance to meet him, even if it was only for a few seconds. I do miss living in Green Bay. Aside from that, Gilbert Brown was always pretty visible. I pulled up next to him at a red light once during the summer. He was driving a very nice GTO. We both had our windows down. He looked over and I yelled out the window, "Punch it!" and he just smiled real big and said, "Naw... man, can't do it." [/QUOTE]
