earlie fires tribute thread...

[satan's twin]

Just days before this past Christmas I wrapped up my last business trip of the year seated on a flight next to Earlie from Albany to Chicago. Since my first job had been at Arlington Park when I was 14 years old and about the time he first started riding at Arlington in the late 60's, it was a big thrill to talk with him. He is, by far, my all-time favorite jock. He is a great guy...and a perfect gentleman! He insisted on running down the aisle from the last row of the plane to assist every woman put her bag in the overhead luggage compartment. His height is about four foot nothing so I LMAO watching him each time as he climbed up and stood on the outside arm rests of the aisle seats in order to reach the overhead storage space to put the bags up for each woman he assisted.
