Ha...pretty cool...I was on the same flight Monday with Fred, his wife, mother in law and 3 very well behaved kids. (well 1 was a baby)
I didn't want to bother him but told him good luck next year on my way off the plane. He said thanks and we went on our way.
A funny tidbit...on the way off the plane, he was carrying the baby bag over his shoulder along with other baby stuff when he kept hitting the seats as he was walking...
I told him he needed C Mac to clear the way for him He chuckled.
Seemed like a nice guy with a nice family.
