"If there's a global or celebrity-laden event in or near New York, odds are Packer
is there, or is trying to be there. He was first in the line to see ground zero
when the viewing platform opened at the World Trade Center site Dec. 30. He was
the first in line in 1997 to sign the condolence book at the British consulate
when Princess Diana died. He slept outside in the snow in Washington last
January to be the first in line to greet President George W. Bush after his
inauguration.
"This is what I like doing," he said. "You only live once, you might as well
make the most of it.""
