I think George has good and bad days like all of us do. I went to Cooperstown to see his induction. He and Otis Taylor were my KC sports heroes growing up. Like Len Dawson, Brett decided to stay in KC and make this home. He could have gone back to California, but stayed. As far as kids go, one of my experiences was back about 20 years ago. My wife and I took a bunch of grade school kids to the Nelson Art Gallery, and afterwards the school bus pulled into Winstead's for lunch. At a booth was George and his family. The kids were losing their mind because they recognized him right away. They were all buzzing and staring at him. My wife went over to him and said "Mister Brett, these kids are from Lexington here on a field trip. They all love you. Would you take a picture with them out by the school bus?" He said "Let me finish having lunch and get my family to the car, then I'll do it, ok?" And he did. He met the kids at the bus and took a group picture with them. It was a nice thing to do and the kids were freaking out. Later my wife mailed him a Lexington Art Club T-Shirt to Kauffman Stadium. I'm sure he probably used it to wax his car
