Still remember meeting him when I was 14. He was in the hospital in his private ward, watching CNN on Satellite cable. My mom had always been enamoured by him. He held her hand and told her how wrong she was to marry my dad and that she should have been born 40 years earlier. 😂 She's especially proud of that moment and recalls this story to everyone.
