Question

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the poor to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elder, short man, whose hair was disorder. He was wearing an old hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.

We carefully began a conversation and spoke about a lot of things. We never introduced ourselves.I thought that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee. I asked, "May I get you something?"

"A coffee would be nice."

Then I bought him a cup of coffee,we talked more,and he accepted another cup of coffee.Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and went to the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,"How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?"

"Who? "

"The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs."

I could hardly believe it. I was talking, buying coffee,offering a free breakfast,and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!

My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.
