My Uncle owned a security guard company that my whole family worked for for years. It was where all the non-qualified lazy people went for jobs. Most of the jobs required them to just stand there.
But then he got the US Open Tennis Tournament in Flushing Meadows, NY and they needed armed security for the tennis players. My Dad guarded Martina Navratilova and Jimmy Connors. I met all of them, including John McEnroe who was very nice. My Dad met tons of celebs who were at the matches like Howard Cosell (who was working for CBS at the time-they were covering the tournament) and Johnny Carson. It was actually very exciting, I got free reign to go wherever I wanted to. He had that contract for years, it was fun.
