The Houston Oilers’ signing of Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George may have saved the life of his mother, Donna.
The TWA flight attendant was scheduled to work ill-fated Flight 800 from New York to Paris on July 17 and return two days later.
But her son’s agent, Lamont Smith, persuaded her to change her schedule so she could go to San Antonio on July 19 for the signing of the tailback from Ohio State.
“Donna said she didn’t know if she could take off. But I was persistent,” Smith said. “They were already spiritual people, and they say the Lord works in mysterious ways. If he worked through me in this instance, I couldn’t be happier about it.”
