I set next to Minnie Pearl on a flight from Atlanta to Fort Myers FL. I want to say it was in 1986 or there abouts. Pretty normal person. She interduced herself as Sara. I never mentioned or talked about her celeb staus and she never did either. I think she appreciated the break from all that. She thanked me for the conversation when she stood up to get off the plane. She got swamped as soon as she got off the plane. As I walked passed her I nodded and shook my head and she smiled and winked at me.
