This happened in the early 1980s and I was still reveling in being able to spend three days with Duke and his secretary Pat Stacy in Northern California with Bill Hearst Jr. and a small group or other people.
One of my pilots had gone to L.A. and pick up Mohammed Ali for the Hearst Newspapers that were doing a story about him for the upcoming Olympics.
After Mohammed Ali and his two huge bodyguards had pretty much trashed my front office at the Paso Robles Airport, and I was just about to call the Sheriff, I asked him who he thought he was, John Wayne? He very quickly came back and said "Who is John Wayne?" I think he was trying to bug me.
He was then very nice to all of my employees and myself, and had one of his bodyguards take pictures of each on of them standing by him with his own Polaroid Camera.
Boy that Guy knew how to keep himself on the Front Pages of the News Papers!!! B)
If you want to read the story you can go to Mohammed Ali
