From SI's Alexander Wolf: As Summitt settled into her seat in the first row, waiting for takeoff, the flight attendant in the jump seat opposite her began to sob. “What is it?” Summitt asked. “Tell me, what’s the matter?” It turned out that years ago, upon leaving the floor after a game at Louisiana Tech, Summitt had spotted a girl in a wheelchair at the mouth of the tunnel. She walked over, dropped to one knee, and said, “Don’t let the way you are now define who you will be. You can overcome anything if you work at it.” That little girl grew up to be the woman who would soon be getting out of that jump seat to work that flight, and for the moment she was overcome with emotion at having the chance to thank this woman who foretold how she could control her fate.

First day of classes freshman year at UT in 2008 I was walking around with one of those big campus maps in front of my face not paying attention to where I was going while trying to figure out where on earth I was supposed to be for a class. Someone stepped in front of me and all I see are two feet since my head was down, I look up and it's Pat. All orange sweatsuit. Grabs my map and says "Alright where ya s'posed to be honey let's find it."
