I'm nearly 60 years old and until today I have never asked anyone for an autograph. I had a flight from PDX to SEA and now I'm waiting for a flight to Europe. The Seattle flight was overbooked and I was in group 5. I thought the plane would be a dash8 but it was one of the old airbuses that Alaska acquired when they bought Virgin. I was able to gate check my bag before I entered the airplane. But anyway there were three 25ish year old guys in front of me in the line to get the boarding pass scanned. One guy I thought I recognized but wasn't sure. He seemed a bit smaller than I would have expected. Then I saw another of the three had a "Beavers" backpack with #32 on it. When we got to the gate agent I heard the agent say "thank you Adley." The three sat just across the aisle from me. I texted my wife and son and they were both basically screaming at me to ask for his autograph. I had put my briefcase in the overhead bin a few rows in front of me. So I asked the lady next to me if she had a pen and could I borrow it. She dug through her backpack and purse but could only find eyeliner. If you don't know (I didn't) eyeliner is a lot like a tiny paintbrush. So I finally asked Adley if he could sign an autograph. He was extremely gracious and said sure. He had some trouble with the eyeliner but signed my boarding pass.

I hope he doesn't stick around long, the air quality is turrible right now. 206 AQI "Very Unhealthy" #1 in the world. |

Well, he was in Corvallis last weekend at the Alumni golf tournament, so maybe heading back to Baltimore. |

32 is somebody else. He signed 35 with his name Mitchell Verburg? He's been #32 for the past half-decade I think. The plot thickens! |
