Olivia Newton-John

Years ago I was working as a dishwasher in a small Italian restaurant in Charlotte (a suburb near the lake in Rochester, N.Y.). This particular night, Olivia Newton-John came in to have dinner with someone she was allegedly seeing in the area.

The bus boy came back to tell me she was there, but I didn't believe him and went about washing dishes. Not long after he came back to tell me she was coming back to meet me. Of course I didn't believe him!

About 20 minutes later, I was standing there straining spaghetti sauce into a mixer, when Olivia Newton-John came through the kitchen door and walked up to me!

She held out her hand to shake mine and said, "Now do you believe I was here?"

I laughed and said, "I guess I have to!" She signed a sheet of paper from a notepad "To Dave, Love, ONJ." I had that for years in my wallet and will never forget that day!
