This is such a fun memory, Ollie, and I can't really criticize your turning down a drink with someone as famous as Jack Lemon. I've done similar things myself, though not with a movie star. Why DO we say no to fun, unique, serendipitous surprises? Anyway, it's a great piece. Thanks for sharing!

Well what kindness in your reply on comments Cindy. So glad you had time to read the short post the crazy thing is Why? What was meant for me to have that experience ? He did his best and was kind in making the effort to pay and buy a drink. His energy was fantastic just like him on film. The last thing I am is star struck, but I certainly was struck by a star that day. Blessings Ollie

Ollie, you sure made good on your name: "If Only I" ... yeah, you shouldda! This was a fun fun post, my friend and I enjoyed it. If you have to get rear-ended by another driver, it's great to be rear-ended by one of the greats!! Kudos

It was back in 1981 so I was 21 didn't need a fake I'd and I hadn't quit drinking as of yet, so why I had such fear is beyond me. He was truly doing his best to have me walk next store. It's not as if I needed to drive😁😁. Thank you for your kind comments makes it so worth sharing .
