TPOTY

I was waiting in line at my local Giant grocery store, leafing through magazines, and I just saw the cover of Time magazine. I couldn't believe it, but Time's 'Person of the Year' is--ME!! Go ahead, check it out! There I was on the cover! I can't wait to tell Mom.

In the mid-80's there was this really cheap pizza place in Ypsi called "Hello Faz Pizza." Cheap as in Thursday night special--$1.00 for a pizza (cheese and pick-up only). What a bargain for a starving student! But there was a "celebrity" aspect that was even cooler. Faz (the owner) would find out when any famous people were flying into Detroit's Metro Airport, and he'd drive out there. Pre-TSA, Faz would get his picture taken with noted celebrity as they emerged from the terminal. The pictures were of airplane-weary and startled actors, musicians, and politicians who wondered who this smiling and anxious man was. The pictures were pasted on the walls of his restaurant. I remember 8 X 10" glossies of Lee Iacocca, Muhammad Ali, and Sammy Davis Junior.
