Meeting Ross Perot during his race for President was meaning full. Several of us were traveling back home when all the flights were stopped due to heavy snow. We looked at each othher and ask “Are we going to have to stay overnight?”.
Right about that time Ross Perot, his wife and some staffers enter the lobby. The hairs on my neck went up, he is a business legend. I was smiling and he walked right over to me, shaking my hand. We chatted a moment, with his wife by his side. I mentioed we were grounded due to weather and then we said our goodbyes.
Minutes latter Mrs. Perot came back and offered me a ride on their plane so I could get home that night. It was wonderful gesture and no doubt would be a chance of a lifetime yet I could not acccept the offer. My confidence dipped thinking about being in there presence, what you I have interesting to talk about and after arriving home, I still needed a ride. It felt like to much to ask.
Looking back, the adventious me would have jumped at the chance.
