Wow.
One time, a few years ago, quite by chance (I had my T coupe with me at the time), I got to meet Andrew L Riker's (great? great great?) grandchildren with their mother. For me, I considered it an honor, but I think the kids (while sitting in my coupe!) got quite a lesson in history and the important role their ancestor had played.
