He and a couple of passengers on his flight there from wherever they connected, had some sort of difficulty in the airport or with customs. Amongst those passengers was a teenage boy who seemed lost so BIL helped him navigate the whole issue and they all arrived safely in St. Barts.
A few days later, BIL was at a restaurant and all of the sudden, the jaws of everyone at his table dropped because Sir Paul McCartney came and sat at the next table, right behind BIL. He was frustrated that he couldn't turn around to look but didn't want to seem stupid or to bother Sir Paul. About halfway into their time at the table, he feels a tap on his shoulder. He turns around and it's Paul trying to get his attention. BIL turns around and Paul says "My grandson tells me you helped him out at the airport the other day, I just wanted to say thank you."
Moral of the story, always lend a hand, you never know who's grandson it might be!
What a great story!

Because the bands touring that city that night had bought out that floor. So I spent the night with The Grateful Dead and Crosby, Stills and Nash running up and down the hallway. Honestly, they could not have been nicer to the lawyer in her business suit. And they were clearly having the time of their lives even though it was probably the 10 millionth time they had done that.

Thanks. Also, no one gives a shit.

Down to earth guy in t-shirt and shorts sitting among a bunch of VERY loud 9y olds drinking (his brand) lemonade and eating spaghetti looking like he was having the time of his life. Later on he came to arts and crafts (where I was working) and did some woodworking with some teenagers.
Super nice and low key guy.

(meaning, not fancy) and a woman turned around and told us she knew an excellent place. She gave me an address and told me we'd be taken care of. That was her. Whole meal was free. She must have described us to someone at the restaurant.
