I've had a few brushes with fame, and despite it being one of the more 'low key' affairs, my favorite is....
Getting some early morning groceries at the Sobeys in Lakeview one Saturday morning, and a recently retired Ralph Klein was standing in the checkout ahead of me. He was nice, smiling, and personable early in the morning (call it 900am?) while buying a paper and some basics.
My favorite part was that he was wearing his Edmonton Formal Wear.....grey sweatpants and a tshirt. My first thought was "God, this guy's great but clearly spent too much time in Edmonton".
Nice moment. Fond memory.
