Happy Mothers Day!
I just re-foun...Dear Gertrude:<br /><br />Happy Mothers Day!<br /><br />I just re-found your blog. So you're a Willie Mays Fan? I've got a story...<br /><br />We did an event for the Say Hey Foundation, Willie's charity. He came to lunch to thank us. In walked this black guy (not many of them in Napa Valley) and I was, for once in my life, at a loss for words. <br /><br />After about one minute, I was having lunch with a new friend, not my childhood hero. He was telling a story about being stopped by the cops for an autograph on his way to my restaurant. I said to Willie, "Do you ever get tired of being Willie Mays?" He paused, and said, "Son, you can be anything you want to be, but you can't not be who you are."<br /><br />Smart man.Kinyon Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02122199298152589259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618393660102651883.post-12451040357042907762010-05-06T08:08:18.932-07:002010-05-06T08:08:18.932-07:00Wow, it really is a small world!
