I worked with a man down in Virginia who had the opportunity to meet Ali one day. It was in the almost deserted Charlotte, NC airport. He squinted and said to himself "that can't be...." but it was. He went over, said hello, had a nice conversation with the Greatest. Ali's wife showed up a few minutes later. "Cassius, are you trying to get that man to carry your bags? Stop bothering him and let's get going." They both laughed and said their goodbyes. He couldn't get over how approachable he was.
