On another trip to Vegas I walked out of Caesars Palace waiting for the limo and Red Foxx was standing next to me. I struck up a conversation and asked for his autograph. He was very rude and cursed me out. I never forgot it and did not watch anymore of his shows. To this day I will not watch Sanford & Son.

On a trip to New York we had dinner near Broadway and Aretha Franklin was sitting at the table next to us. She was very nice and was talking with everyone. Before we knew it she got up and started signing her signature song Respect. It was a great evening.
What a shame about Red Foxx, I always sign, it's not a big deal.
