Dirk showed us a side of him 21 years ago, and we should all be glad we believed him

One of the mantras of schools and police departments across this great nation is that if you see something, say something. Well, let me tell you a little something that I saw every time I was in the presence of Dirk.

This is a man who probably never met a stranger, although many of them approach him on a constant basis in hopes of getting that rare autograph or obtaining that treasured selfie. To those fans, they probably felt like they just nabbed a coveted pair of Baryshnikov’s ballet shoes, or a piece of artwork from Rembrandt.

You, sir, put the ‘I’ in love, the ‘p’ in peaceful, and the ‘s’ in soul.
