I actually met Marty and Carl by accident in 1987. I was on lunch break from a construction site on 40 Hwy in Independence and stopped at the "Steak and Shake" to grab a sandwich. I happened to be wearing a Chiefs sweatshirt. The server tells me: "There's your new coach". I looked behind me at the next table and there they were. Marty waved and motioned me over. In total, I think he had only been in town for a week or so.
We shot the crap for about 10 minutes. Pleasant man. Carl didn't have a lot to say but was all right. Seemed like a down to earth, decent man. I was a fan of Marty from that day on.
