I’m sure all of us have had a fleeting experience with fame. I recalled several in one of my groups in Facebook. I was elected Class President of the Junior Class and was therefore selected to have a part in the Junior Class Play. Initially my part was a tiny role. Perhaps two spoken lines, which was fine with me. Then the guy chosen to play the lead part had to withdraw; his father pulled him out of the play. I was thrust, unwittingly into the spotlight. Of course, I had to learn more lines than just two. The play was a hit! My father who was substituting was asked by a student; “Are you any relation to that Justice kid who was in the play? ” Now, that is fame.
When I called radio talk shows, my voice was radio friendly. Once I had a conversation with someone, and he asked; “Where have we met before?” We hadn’t, but he had heard me enough times on the radio, to recognize my voice.
Fame is fleeting, and I would wonder how many of others have had such experiences. They are lifting, but oh so quickly they pass.
