I was a doorman at the park Hyatt in Chicago. Teddy Kennedy was eating at La Tour, located in the hotel. I walked in from my post on Chicago Avenue to check him out…heard he was hittin’ it pretty hard. He came oozing outta the bathroom and gave me a big smile and offered a handshake to the working man. I was in my doorman uniform that was kind of a fox- hunting -NAZI SS -get up- topped off with Russian- Army- type- hat. As the Senator extended his dripping hand I reached mine forward and then transformed the handshake motion into a flamboyant salute. He laughed, I laughed and we went our seperate ways.
