Fast forward to the late 90's, and I got seated at the table next to Don and his party at a small Italian restaurant in Santa Fe New Mexico, where he had retired to. Of course I had to go over and shake his hand and have a Chris Farley "stupid stupid stupid " moment. Never regretted it either !
That is so cool!
