As Andy says: "wonderful writing". Those descriptions had me by the short hairs.

How excellent for you that you got to meet your heroes, in private and unsheduled.

More "crew privilege".

Wow. Thanks so much -- great story!

Evel's Wikipedia page is full of swell anecdotes, e.g.:

Knievel's website says that he chose his nickname after spending a night in jail in 1956 after being arrested for reckless driving. In the same jail that night was a man named William Knofel, who had the nickname “Awful Knofel”; this led to Knievel being referred to as “Evel Knievel”.
