I stood in line at the cashier with Steve Young. All the while my wife was talking to his then girlfriend and did not realize who the boyfriend was. Also, for a while I lived in the same church region as Dale Murphy and his family (Alpine / AF). At a stake tournament he was there with a bunch of his kids running around. Now, 20 years later he is a counselor in my daughters BYU ward.
I can't imagine the burden of being famous, or well known, and having everyone think they know you and they are strangers to you.
