       Wecautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things．We never introducedourselves．Iwas concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford somethingto eat．So asI rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,

       “My Iget you something ?”

       “Acoffee would be nice．”

       Then Ibought him a cup of coffee, We talked more , and he accepted another cup ofcoffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit．At the door I met one ofmy friends．Heasked,

       “Howdid you get to know Mr．Galbreath?”

       “Who?”

       “Theman you were sitting with．He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs．”

       Icould hardly believe it．I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one ofthe world’s richest and most powerful men!
