(CNN) A steady stream of mourners, of all ages and political persuasions, lined up outside the Arizona State Capitol in the midday 104-degree heat to pay their respects to Sen. John McCain. Goodie, who lives in Gilbert, Arizona, met McCain in 1996 while working at Mesa High School. McCain jumped out of the back seat, and asked him if he was "Big John Goodie." "He said I just want to thank you for your efforts on the Martin Luther King holiday," Goodie recalled, noting that he helped lead the drive to honor King in Arizona. In 1983, McCain voted against legislation to make King's birthday a federal holiday -- a position he would later regret.
