My aunt was/is real close(just friends) to Bill Bates, so I casually call him my uncle. Those roots go back to Tennessee where they are from. It is funny how they both ended up living in Dallas for different reasons. Went to many a BBQ with him and even had Thanksgiving desert at his condo post-game, think it was back in 1988.
Four years ago, I got to caddy/walk with Emmitt, Rice and Flutie at the Shriners/J. Timberlake golf tournament. Mostly small talk with the ex-players but I flirted with Flutie's daughter Alexa the whole time, drop dead gorgeous. I think she was maybe 19 or 20 at the time
