My Brush with Greatness
One of my brushes with
greatness was when I encountered the great film actor Henry Fonda in
Rome.
It was 1973 and I was on a scholarship
from Columbia University to study architecture in Europe.
I was thirsty, so I headed out on a back street near the Spanish Steps
to buy some agua minerale.
Mr. Fonda was walking rather furtively,
and I suspect that he got more attention than he wanted.
He actually had his hat pulled down over his face, but I could still
tell who he was.
I gave him a high five and he responded with a hurried smile and a high
five back.
I don't like to intrude on anyone's
privacy so I didn't try to chat with the guy.
He didn't look too happy.
Keep hammerin'...
