When I was a journalism student in the early 90s, I went to the Saddledome to do an interview with Robert Reichel on a practice day. The PR flack told me where to wait for practice to end, and then I stood there feeling kind of awed and out of place. The local print beat reporters eyed me with suspicion and contempt. It was pretty uncomfortable.
Then Maher walked by, stopped when he saw I was a new face, and introduced himself. Shook my hand. Asked who I was writing for, and who I was interviewing. Then said 'good luck' and went on his way with a smile on his face. That 30 seconds out of his day made a callow young student feel so much more at ease.
