Lorelei's Lit Lair - #5. Met Superman
I went skiing in Stowe, Vermont on Christmas Day, 1985. My family and I arrived very early, put our bags to the side to save the table, but when we returned after skiing, it was taken. So we found another table to sit at. From afar I kept looking at who sat at our table, the man looked very familiar. Then I realized who it was: Superman. Christopher Reeve. He was sitting when I approached him, on that bench behind me in the photo. But then he rose and…..I was in awe, and amazed, indeed. I asked if he didn’t mind taking a picture. I was so nervous, I forgot to ask for an autograph. At least this pic came out well. No digital back then.
He was so gracious, allowing us to take a picture during the holidays while he was with his family. After everything he went through and all the years of hope and pain, I’ve never forgotten that day and what a true gentlemen and nice person he was. A true real-life hero. (I was 18, by the way, though I look 14 next to him. A wonderful memory. Sigh…)

  2. That is so fun that you met him! You haven't changed much since then, and I think you look older than 18!

    1. Why thank you, Sue-in the haven’t changed much! 😄 I felt 14 standing next to him. I honestly don’t know how I could speak or how he understood my request.
