40. My brush with Pat Boone (Debbie too)...

1975 our football team (Jackson Parkside) just played Ann Arbor Pioneer. So after road games they take us out to eat as usual. We ate at the Bill Knapp's in Ann Arbor and as 'luck' would have it the whole Pat Boone klan had stopped there too with their tour bus.

So long story short one of our assistant coaches asked him to speak to our team. He finally relented and told us a story iirc of overcoming obstacles to achieve our goals. Roger Staubach was the object (or would he be the subject?) of this morality play as I recall.

By the way this would have been in the twilight of Pat's career (going on some 50 years now). However it was just prior to Debbie Boone hitting it big with that godawful [font color=darkred]You Light Up My Life[/font].
