Professional Speaking

“I was invited to speak somewhere not that many years after my playing days. I heard tickets weren’t selling as fast as they had sold in past years. Now obviously, this tweaked my ego a little. So I called my old teammate Pete Lammons, who knew something about the matter, and asked what the problem was.

“Pete, those tickets aren’t selling. Is there anything I can do?”

He said, “Don’t blame yourself, Duke. I’m pretty sure there aren’t that many people who still remember who you are.”

So, yes, even after that start, I do some public speaking. I’m sitting by the phone. With a thick skin.”
