10) What is the most memorable moment of your entertainment career? While we were loading our vehicle at the end of the night for one of our very first wedding receptions about 13 years ago at Burton Manor in Livonia I heard a woman screaming for help. I looked across the parking lot toward the overpass on I-96 and a guy had a woman by her throat pushing her backwards over the railing of the freeway. I don''t know if no one else could hear her or if no one wanted to get involved but no one was helping. I told my wife Sue, "that woman needs help" and ran towards them. When the guy noticed me running in his direction he let her go and took off running. These were guests that were attending our reception. When I got to the woman she was extremely shaken up and she walked back to our van where Sue was standing watching it all. We asked her if she wanted to call or go to the police and she said no. She was from out of town staying at a nearby hotel and we offered her a ride back. She accepted. Apparently she rode to the reception with someone and her car was at the hotel. We walked her to her room and like an idiot I went in first to make sure that the strangler wasn''t in there. I''m not sure if the two of them rode there together or what thier relationship was but she thanked us and locked the door. So I took my cape off and we went home.
