There was one that the others seemed focused on, as he spoke the others listened and responded, I thought I had seen him before, somewhere, but I wasn't sure, at one point after about fifteen minutes there he got up from his chair and approached the counter of the bar, I looked closer anf it looked like Carl Lewis, the Olympian, I said out loud, Carl he turned and smiled, I then knew it was him, he stopped , I approached him and we had a brief convo, he said he was in the capital or a few days, what a nice guy.
later before he left, as he was still waiting with his group for one more arrival he approached me again, asking how long I would be in the airport, and if I could look out for the buddy, they were waiting for, one other in the group showed me a picture of the guy, they were waiting for, I told Carl I couldn't promise how long I would be there, as my friend plane had landed, and I was waiting for him to clear customs, and when he did, I was out.
What a nice guy, hope he and his crew enjoy the D. R.
