Homesteader Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 DH has met alot of famous and infamous people. He has travelled alot in his career. Myself, I've only met 3 that I can think of right now. John Glenn was jogging on the beach by our house when I was a little girl. Hank Williams Jr. was on a commuter type plane with me. I talked to Sally Struthers at a car show in Buena Park California once. My son met Gwen Stefani in LA when No Doubt was still a garage band. My Aunt sat next to Gary Cooper on an airplane in the late 50's and got his autograph. My Dad met alot of bigwigs when he worked at Cape Canaveral. One of his favorites was Walter Cronkite. My MIL dated Howard Hughes once, but I think nearly every woman out west did back then. LOL. I should make DH get in here and tell you how many he's met but he's shy around puters!

gardnmom Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 The only one I've met was Connie Smith. She played the Steuben County Fair a about 3 years ago, and I bought tickets for DD and myself to go. Then she did autographs after the show. We waited in line for about an hour for her to sign a picture of herself for us. She visited with most of us for a couple of minutes. I love to hear her sing. My favorite song that she did was "Seattle" it is not her own but I love her rendition.rather "Seattle" ------------------ Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

Lois Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 When I was an officer on the student government in college i had the priviledge to pick up Vincent Price at the airport and accompany him to a speaking engagement at the college and then to a private reception afterwards. I've also met Sam the Sham and The Pharohs when I was a teenager. And 3 years ago my DSIL took me to see and meet Cleetis T. Judd and Leanne Womack, we got to talk with them and get their autographs also. ------------------ Quote Link to comment

My mom's boss used to be Sally Ride. SHe got us a signed copy of one of her books. ------------------ Quote Link to comment
