Haha that reminded me. I met the lead singer of blues traveler several years back in a Denny's at 3 am. Nice guy. Actually thanked me for waiting till he finished eating before saying hi. Everyone else didn't. Not a man that I'd want to distract from food. Here's another one, R.D. Keever. He used to supply horses for a lot of westerns. He also played as a close extra (lots of close up camera time) in a lot of movies. Lonesome dove and The Postman were probably the biggest two. |

I met Bobby Knight when i was 5 years old in the IU locker room. Don't remember it though.
Played in Lou Holtz's private jet when I was 9 (vaguely remember). In college I waited on Lee Greenwood's table at an upscale casual restaurant. His manager asked me if I knew any of his songs...didn't know a single one. Now that I think about it...Lee Greenwood is probably only quasi-famous. |

President Eisenhower when I was 8 and he was hunting ducks near Toledo. We cub scouts went to the airport in uniform to send him off with a salute.
Danced with Cynthia Patrick when I was 12. She was the star of "Attack of the Mole People". She had a balcony from which you could do shakespeare. That dance helped get me through puberty. Ran into John Lithgow on a New York street last year. Didn't say a word, other than "commander", and gave him the 3rd rock commander's salute and kept walking.

While working in Hollywood doing set construction I was standing at a urinal when a very short old man came in and stood next to me. It was George Burns. When he was done I asked him for his autograph he said yes and took me into his office where he talked to me for about 20 minutes. He was a very cool old guy.
While Doing set construction I also met very briefly: Will Smith (Fresh Prince was one of the shows I worked on) MC Hammer (I worked on one of his Taco Bell commercials) Cybill Shepherd (I worked on a few of her make-up commercial) Phil Hartman (I worked on a couple of his Cheetos Commercials) I met Steve Jones (Guitar player for the Sex Pistols) sitting on his Harley in from of the Roxy on Sunset Blvd. I got to Jam with Andy McCoy, the guitar player for Hanoi Rocks. I've met Rob Halford a few times. I'm sure there were more. |

I don't get out much, but Dusty Hill from ZZ Top.
I met him at a little dive bar on Memorial Drive called the Burlap Barrel on Halloween night. He bought me two beers and we talked for about 30 mins. Hell of a nice guy. I also shared a few drinks with Houston Rocket Robert Reid and his wife at a club off Westheimer on Saturday evening. He introduced me to my soon to be girlfriend that night. Again, really nice guy. |

Almost forgot this one, mainly because I don't think of him as a celebrity. I am good friends with Jim Skow, former all pro lineman for the Bengals (SB ring), Seahawks and Tampa Bay. I met him when I was a personal trainer. He was a groomsman in my brothers wedding this past spring.

AHHHH forgot that one. one of my Ex's was friends with Ron, I spend several nights drinking with him in his private booth at The Roxy. He was also responsible for getting her a spread in Hustler. I also forgot that I met Sam Kinison. That same girlfriend danced at his birthday party. I ran the music. Also I met Lemy from MotorHead when the band I was in at the time warmed up for them at a tribute concert for Sam Kinison after he died. He also spent a lot of time hanging out at Jumbo's Clown Room in Hollywood, where I met my ex-wife.

I don't like to admit this one. I attended same High School as Hillary Clinton. I attended MaineTwsp. HS East, from 1962 to 1966 She was there from 1963 to 1964 until a new school, Maine South was completed. Don't remember much about her as she was a year under me, just that she was a rich bi*** from Park Ridge, IL . This may sound wierd but when President Kennedy was assainated I remember seeing her and other girls crying in the halls. When I asked what was going on some one said the president has been shot.
At a friends house on Thanksgiving Day 1967, I met Hugh O'Brian played "Bat Masterson" a TV cowboy show from the early sixties. |

I met Bob from Sesame Street when I was about 2 y/o. This was ~1970.
During the 70s I lived in an apartment complex where a bunch of the Baltimore Orioles lived during the season. I got to meet Mark Belanger, Lee May, Doug Decences (sp), Rick Dempsey, and Andy Echebaron (sp). I was friends with Belanger's and May's sons and can remember seeing the 4 Golden Gloves on Mark Belanger's coffee table. Gunwriter-wise, I'm lucky to know Walt Rauch and was introduced one time to Frank James. |
