In my eyes, the man was a legend on more levels than I had ever known. a sign of chivalry and dignity, more common with the generations before, and not seen by me in enough years to almost bring me to tears. What happened next, remains one of my most vivid memories, as all 4 men stood to greet a woman in her early 30s.
