I met Kevin in an emergency room at the hospital in Barrie, Ontario.
I was with my wife, who had a SEVERE migraine headache. We sat down (she lay down) in the waiting room. After making her comfortable I looked up and saw a guy who looked an awful lot like someone I knew...Kevin MacDonald! I thought to myself.....but no, it couldn't be...this gut was thinner and weedier looking....real small. I watched him for a while - he had a girlfriend who looked like a Poli-Sci Major with a Major attitude. She sure controlled him!!! She was cute, but...Oh, man - pushy!
Anyway, I was kind of staring trying to decide if it really was him - and if it was him, then how long before that girlfriend of his talked him into doing something "important" with his life...He stared back. Eventually, his name was called and it was, of course, Kevin. He saw me recognize the name, and he gave me a sardonic smile as he got up to go - hell, he could've let me off the hook about an hour earlier by simply waving! I was his biggest fan until then.
P.S. He apparently had a little cough that he was concerned about (I saw him with the doctor) ... meanwhile SERIOUS CASES were waiting for treatment. So much for Poli-Sci Socialist Girlfriend Values!!! (This happened about five years ago)
Thank you Jack for this story! :-)~
