I saw him once, while he was cruising down Wilshire Blvd. in his gold Rolls
Royce convertible at maybe five mph. His little kids were climbing all over
the car and Ali just smiled and waved to the crowds running after him! It
was great fun. You could see people running out onto the sidewalks up ahead
as shouts of "Ali!" filled the air. It was a one man parade, out of the
blue, in Los Angeles in 1982.
