My wife was a special ed teacher back in 1999-2000 or so, when training camp at Fisher was still a new thing. They took the class on a field trip to camp one day. Now this was a group of about a dozen kids, all of whom had some pretty serious issues, profoundly mentally and physically disabled. This was back in the Flutie days.
Anyway, they had the class there, and after practice, Flutie took time to visit, talk, sign autographs and take pictures with each and every one of those kids even though it was a super-hot summer afternoon. The kids, parents, teachers, everyone, was pretty thrilled. My wife said he couldn't have been a nicer guy and was just so great with the kids. His son has autism, so obviously disabled kids are pretty close to his heart, but he just went above and beyond that day.
Also, funny side note, my wife is all of five feet tall, so everyone of "average" height and above looks pretty tall from her perspective. But still, she was surprised by how short Flutie was.
