My dad met Morgan Freeman via a friend in common.
Mr. Freeman was very gracious and thanked my dad for his service and Daddy responded in kind. After a few conversations they realized they knew about of each other before he was "Morgan Freeman" through friends and associates throughout the Mississippi Delta.
The three times he was with him, my dad said he would stop and talk with anyone who approached him for autographs or just conversation. My father said that Morgan Freeman was a boy of the South just like him...they shared many ideas, Southern cooking, and a love of the Delta.
Daddy said that the biggest thing he noticed about Mr. Freeman was he remembered who he was and from where he came. They did not share the same politics, but respected each other’s ideas, thoughts, and philosophies.
I was already a fan, and this all solidified my fan-dom of Morgan Freeman. My favs are Glory, Driving Miss Daisy, and Invictus.
That's my 2 cents worth.
