“My son meets a movie star!”
His full name is “Jeffery David Knight” (Or J.D.K.). (I once believed he would become a follow-up President to “J.F.K.”, also known as John Fitzgerald Kennedy!)
Sometime in 1990, my son, Jeffrey, who was a “wandering child” was sitting with myself and my wife at the “Princetonian Diner” located on Route #1, in Princeton, New Jersey, when suddenly, he got down out of our booth and walked down the aisle to be greeted by a real movie starlet, Brooke Shields! She acted in a “breakout movie” called, “Blue Lagoon”!
The fact is that Ms. Shields was attending classes at Princeton University, a very elite Ivy League school and she was in the 1987 class and was in her third year.
I walked over and apologized to Ms. Shields, but she said, “He is so cute! Just listen to him .. he is simply amazing!” Jeff sat there while we gazed at him sitting next to this beautiful young star and a few of her friends. We were in awe of him sitting next to her. I only wish I had a camera to take a photo!
This was one of Jeff’s life experiences. This one was one which, I am sure, he and I will never forget.
