Yes - and that wasn't exactly a golden afternoon together. She got wasted and he had to "nearly drag [her] up the stairs" to sleep it off.
And that was seriously her last interaction with him. It was in, what, 1985? 86? Thereabouts... but reading this, you'd think she was a dear friend of his, a frequent collaborator, someone whom he held in high esteem and for whom he would drop everything to help honor at the HOF.
Yesh. Right.
