*Disclaimer: This is my teacher's words. It's her story from her childhood, I'm just repeating it. This is her story. :)
So, my sixth grade teacher revealed to my class one day that she had met George Harrison when she was a kid. This is how her story to us went.
Her late father was a missionary and basically traveled all over the world so my teacher and her sister (who was also my teacher in college) pretty much lived everywhere. And in 1963 they finally made it back to America and while living there they reconnected with a couple they had befriended in England. And according to her while they were visiting the couple they met a British young man with shaggy hair and a cockney accent (her words not mine). She thought he was really cute but other than his name being George, she didn't know much else except he loved music and was in the U.S on holiday, visiting friends and family. But he was very nice and polite. And the one thing that she and her little sister noticed was he humming a lot particularly when he made his tea (he was not a fan of American tea, btw *lol*) but they couldn't make out the song. All he would say was it was just a song his friends wrote. But it was catchy and even after the visit my teacher was still humming it herself.
Now, flash forward and a very familiar song comes on the radio and it's the very song the young man was singing. And it was called 'She Loves You' and it was by a group called the Beatles. My teacher soon realized she had met George Harrison! And yes she regrets not getting an autograph! *lol*
Now is this story true? I like to think so. Her sister
has confirmed the story word for word. But I'll let you decide ;)
