He started wearing THE HAT after someone in the Jets organization sent it to him after Joe Namath signed with the Jets. I had always said I would be cool and uncaring if I ever saw a celebrity. While I was at the U of Alabama, where the Army sent me'73-'75 to get a paper to say I was smart, I was on the way to class one morning and stopped at a "GO Light" (negative folks call 'em "stop lights") I looked to the car left of me and it was Joe Namath in his car with the windows down. I calmly looked over and nonchalantly yelled, "Hey Joe! How you doin' man? Great to see you!!" while wavin' like an idiot/Auburn Graduate --excuse the repetition. I really could have been cool and ignored him but didn't want to hurt his feelings. Dee
