We all know how awesome Fred is and how long he has been around Ames and Iowa State. I've personally had two awesome personal encounters and would love to hear some others. Here are mine.
1. I was in fifth grade during Fred's senior year at the Big Eight Tournament. My parents owned a t-shirt shop and made me a Fred Jersey that had "Mayor 32" on the back. As my dad and I were checking into the hotel in KC, Fred's parents pulled me off to the side, as I was wearing the journey. I was able to meet Fred's parents and girlfriend (at the time) and him. Needless to say, my dad turned around and I was no where to be found. After they told him who they were, he was a little less unhappy with me that I walked away with strangers in the hotel lobby. Cool first experience.
2. I believe it was one of Fred's first year's in the league and the Pacers were playing in Minnesota. After the game, I was wearing my Fred Pacers jersey. We were waiting around by where the players came out and after awhile, we were kicked out of the area. My uncle got us back in, we were able to meet Fred and get a picture with him. Come to find out later on, only the players family were allowed in the area and my uncle told them were were relatives, so they let us stay.
What does everyone else have?
