Famous people I have
Famous people I have met, known, or stood within 20 feet of:
Dean Dittman, a good friend of my mother’s.
Sam Donaldson, got his autograph at the Republican National Convention in 1988
Ronald Reagan, sat on the floor about 10 feet from his podium at the RNC
George Bush, ditto
Anne Richards, came and shook my hand at a party in Laredo, also the aforementioned restaurant incident
Sting, was in an elevator with him in New York City
Richard Simmons, busted me coming out of a cookie store in O’Hare Airport… (of all the luck, sheesh)
Jimmie Walker, stayed on my floor at a hotel in Las Vegas and we were stranded waiting to go to our rooms when the fire alarm went off
Douglas Adams, at a booksigning in Austin
Don Henley, ditto
Alton Brown, ditto
Carl Anderson, backstage at the Jesus Christ Superstar reunion show in San Antonio (he told me I was impeccably dressed *melt*)
Dan Ackroyd, passed by him on a sidewalk in Reno
Sleepy Floyd, (from the SA Spurs) frequented the same bar
Bob Stupak, passed him in the hall in a Las Vegas casino
Jerry Tarkanian, (former UNLV baskeball coach, looked like Uncle Fester and always bit towels) ran into him at the Las Vegas airport

Ted Nugent, ditto
I’m sure there’s more but I can’t think of them at the moment.
