   Hey all, and especially Mr. Black-   
   I got to meet the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, in Norfolk-VA. He was the main   
   draw on a local card, doing a thank you meet and greet with the fans.   
      
   For $75, you got a $25 Ringside seat to the show, a photo op with Flair, and   
   an autograph from Flair. Plus-extra tickets could be purchased for the   
   autograph. i got one for a regular reader here in the group, and one for my   
   co-worker's son.   
      
   first you did the photo ops, then we did the autograph session. at the   
   session, ric was very cordial and super nice to the fans. you couldn't ask   
   for more. I had a pic made with him from 1994, showed it to him and he asked   
   where and when it was taken, and my age. he even complimented me for all the   
   respect and youthful appearance-i definitely enjoyed that! He signed a belt,   
   a figure and a PWI for me. A most of all-got that important handshake!   
      
   Ric was a class act, thanking the fans for all the support over the years,   
   then he mentioned how he loved the area and all the party spots he went to.   
   then he acknowledged two of his biggest fans-two senior ladies who he had   
   become friends with in coming to Norfolk for the last 20 years. He then went   
   on to make point by saying he never made "to first base" with those two   
   ladies and he appreciated their friendship.   
      
   Ricky Morton was on the card and he didn't even finish with a double drop   
   kick!!!! that was sad!!!! the show you ask-not bad, but I only knew a   
   handful of the local guys. the kids knew'm all!!! I told my friends-we're   
   getting old.   
      
   this was an early Christmas present from my new bride and just wanted to say   
   thanks, honey!   
      
   happy hunting-
