Rest in peace No. 19.

Back in the early 60's four of us, including Johnny, spent an evening having dinner and afterwards went to the Jockey Club in DC. When I was first introduced to him, it was just this is "Johnny" and it took me about fifteen minutes to realized he was Johnny Unitas. He was one of the most self-effacing individuals one would ever meet and totally enjoyable. Although that was the only time I met him personally, our common friend would often say the Johnny had asked about me. For me, he was not only a great player but an even greater human being.
