10. My one sort of encounter with him.

In the 90s I took my two sons on a DART rail ride to the West End and to a fancy restaurant there. One of my sons noticed sitting a couple of tables away was Chuck Norris and three other people. My son was beside himself in wanting to get his autograph. (His twin brother couldn't give a crap about Norris) I worked in TV then and met well-known people all the time and the one thing you just didn't do was ask them for autographs.

Finally, he couldn't stand it any longer and my son asked me if I had some paper and a pen. I gave him one of my business cards for the TV station and figured he wouldn't blow my son off it he knew his old man worked in the media.

As it turned out, Norris never looked at the front of the card and was gracious enough to give him his autograph.

I guess I'll text my son and see if he still has it. Maybe it's worth more money (if it is at all) now that Norris is dead.
