SIDNEY POITIER

Sidney Poitier has died. In addition to being a great actor, he was a good guy. I say this based on my one encounter with him, a million years ago in the Sixties, when he was the most famous resident of Pleasantville, NY., where I attended high school. I lived in the nearby town of Armonk and was dating a girl who lived in Pleasantville. One night, late, I was walking home from my girlfriend's house -- this was roughly a five-mile walk -- and a car stopped next to me, and Sidney Poitier (!) asked me if I needed a ride. So I got in, and he drove me all the way to Armonk, which was out of his way. I wish I could recall what, if anything, we talked about, but I can't. I mainly recall thinking I'M SITTING NEXT TO SIDNEY POITIER!!!

I'm sure I thanked him for the ride. But I will again: Thank you, Mr. Poitier.
