I met Jim Neighbors here on the island last summer playing golf. A
real nice guy. He is making quite a pretty penny on his gospel and
revival albums, and dumb-dumb me didn't know that he sang. How 'bout
that!
Anyway - I asked him "Could you please. . ." and as soon as I said it
he said "Do the Gomer voice?" and all I could do is clap my hands in
desperation let my eyes get bigger in excitement. I guess he knew how
excited I was and let out a "GOOOOOWWWWWLLLLLLYYYY, SARG!!!"
OH MY GOODNESS, I LOVED IT!!! It was really nice of him to be such a
good sport!

Before you buy.
I was 6 at the time. He was in a parade walking down the street shaking
hands. Crowds were gathering around him and I kind of got pushed up to
the front. Suddenly, I looked up and there I was right in front of
RFK!!! I turned around to go tell my parents when I felt a hand on my
shoulder. The hand turned me around and it was Robert Kennedy looking
down at me smiling and reaching to shake my hand!
I will never forget that picture in my mind of him looking down smiling
at me. :)
While working at University of Arizona I met and or tutored the following
athletes
Sean Elliot
Kenny Lofton
Byron Evans
Steve Kerr
David Robinson (He was training with the 1986 USA Team)
As a child I spent the day with
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Dave Spiegel
Soupy Sales - when I was a young kid
Ace Frehley - I called up a radio station where he was being
interviewed, got through, and spoke with him for around 3 minutes
Joey Ramone - ran into him on the streets of NYC
Al McGuire (legendary basketball coach) - met him in Milwaukee in 1987
William Burroughs - shook his hand after a reading in NYC in the early
1980s
Jonathan Demme - director, and really nice man; met him around ten years
ago at a local college here in NJ
Martin Scorsese - met him in NY earlier this year and got to ask him a
question about the movie he is currently working on
Doug Coupland - author of "Generation X" - met him at a bookstore
reading in Boston about two years ago
PJ Carlissimo - said Hi to him this past weekend at Penn State
(Although, the person I really wanted to meet there - Jacques Derrida -
I didn't get to meet)
I THINK. . .Sandy met some famous hockey players?
SANDY. . .Where are you babycakes?
Do you remember that charity event?

Simon Le Bon
Nick Rhodes
John Taylor
Steve Ferrone (he was a regular at the club)

Faye Dunaway (Got to talk to her, after meeting felt like I had been
blessed by the Pope! Very gracious lady.)
Jeff Bridges
Joey Ramone (A funny experience)
Roy Orbison (This one is kind of bitter-sweet. The Hard Rock was having
a party in his honor, not too long after that , died. The party had
been one of his last public appearances.)
Regis Philbin (At the Roy Orbison party. I had NO IDEA who this guy
was! LOL! He kept acting like I should know him, but I guess I was just
too much of a youngin'!)
Cindy Adams (Same Party. Her, I recognized from the newspapers... At
least I didn't make a fool out of myself with her!)
Billy Joel (Same Party. He autographed my time card!)
Weird Al (Same party...couldn't pick up a girl to save his life!)
Cynthia Lennon
Julian Lennon(regular at night club. A very nice guy.)
Eddie Van Halen (A total waste case at the time)
Anthony Michael Hall (He was hanging with Eddie, also wasted. But a
nice guy.)
David Lee Roth(This guy was hysterical!! He was also, surprisingly
cordial. He was at Hard Rock doing a live interview with Scott Muni
from WNEW.)
Chuck Berry (He showed up at the Hard Rock before we opened and asked
me<!!> if it was okay to look around before we opened. Of course it
was okay!! I even made him a cup of coffee. Definitely a high point in
my life as far as music legends go.)
John Entwistle(Met outside of Parker Meridian Hotel for 2 days straight)
Pete Townshend (OMG, this is the only time in my life that I was
speechless!! Also met him outside of the Parker Meridian hotel. Manage
to snap a couple pics and an autograph before he and John Entwistle had
to leave for the airport.)
Sylvester Stallone (borrowed my pen to get a girls phone number. LOL!)
Rod Stewart (a regular at night club)
Noel Redding from Jimi Hendrix Experience( Well, this was really cool.
they had "Jam Night" at the club and he came to jam. Manage to have a
small chat with him in the office..well...also got stoned with him!
LOL! I know, bad girl...but hey, how often does *that* opportunity come
up!)
Paul Stanley (As a KISS fan--this was cool!)
Ace Frehley (Again, very cool for this KISS fan! I remember my
boyfriend at the time, who was also a big fan, asked for his autograph.
Well, he was pretty wasted, so he starts signing all over his denim
jacket, his shoes, the wall in the bathroom! LOL! What a card!)
Lawrence Taylor( A very scary looking guy, but very nice and a good
tipper)
Darryl Strawberry (UGH! What_a_jerk! 'Nuff said.)
Mike Tyson (see Darryl Strawberry)
Shaquille O'Neal (This was funny...I was living in Orlando at the time.
He had already been picked up by the Lakers at this point but still had
a house in O-town. I was coming out of Walgreens late one night and,
literally, ran into him! Talk about running into a brick wall! LOL!
He was real nice about it though and laughed when I asked *him* if he
was okay! Like little ol' me could hurt Shaq!
Christopher Walken (Brief chat, very nice man. Almost elegant in
demeanor.
Jon Lovitz
Sebastian Bach (from Skid Row)
"Macho Man" Randy Savage (YEEEAAA)
Jake the Snake
Judd Nelson (He was best friends with a friend of mine. We hung out one
night and played pinball until 4 am.)
John Stamos (My friend Kim and I got to hang out and drink with him and
the only thing we could think of was "oh man, we're sitting with Blackie
from General Hospital!" This was before Full House came out.)
Mickey Dolenz
Mick Fleetwood
Sinead O'Connor
Modern English (My boyfriend at the time was the light tech for them in
'90)
Rick Derringer (he was a friend of the sound man at the club I worked
at)
Dave Gahan and Andrew Fletcher from Depeche Mode(My friend Elizabeth and
I went to their concert at Giant Stadium and then went back to the club
I worked at. Well, about 15 minutes later they showed up! My friend
was a HUGE fan and was on cloud 9! We got to dance with Fletcher! Great
night!)
<whew>I'm certain I've forgotten a few, but I think that's more than
enough! Sorry it's such a long list. All of these happened when I was
18-21 *(except Shaq, that was 2 years ago). Man, I had a blast in
NYC...sure do miss it.
Gawd...this is almost depressing. LOL! Nothing like what I've listed
has really happened to me since I left NY 9 years ago! Oh, well...back
to my regularly scheduled "normal life"! ;-)

Let's see...I've "met" DERMOT MULRONEY, that guy in "My Best Friend's
Wedding" with JULIA ROBERTS. Uhh...he was a "friend" in high school
(T.C. Williams in Alexandria, VA). He was in orchestra, I was in
chorus...any questions? :-)

You know, I have never met him, even though we were both born in the same

"Nabors" after that family).

We were closing up the store late one December evening and the local comedy
club owner called us and said that he hd some "talent" who wanted to shop. He
asked to keep the store open past the midnight closing time so the "talent"
could shop. We agreed, and about 12:15 Paula Poundstone shows up with about 3
other people. She shopped for about an hour and a half purchasing about 1500
dollars worth of toys. She was very nice to us, she even apologized profusely
when she didn't have change for the soda machine and she had to borrow it from
me. What she did after that was incredible. After we rang her up called in
her credit card and bagged her stuff she said to us. Donate all of this to
your local toy drive. make sure some kids get this stuff, but do me a favor do
not tell the press. She then posed for pictures and signed autographs and
thanked us for helping her. This was the single most generous act I have ever
seen. Plus, if she purchased a coloring book she got crayons to go with it, if
she got a remote control car, she got batteries too. An incredible woman.

When I was 4, in 1967, we spent a day at the General's farm in Gettysburg. My
father was one of his bodyguards during WWII so we spent the day just hanging
out as he and Dad swapped old war stories. He gave us a tour of his farm, gave
us an apple, and explained to me how an electric eye worked. Mamie was sick
that day so we did not get to meet her. The general and Dad stayed in touch
from WWII until the general died in 1969. We have volumes of correspondence
between the two at my parents house. Some of it on White House stationary. I
have in my possession somewhere a letter from the General congratulating Dad on
my birth.
>Dawna . . . what did you teach Sean, by the way????
I tutuored Sean in Sociology. He is quuite intelligent.

I'll put together my list later to post, but mine's a weird list, as I was a

In no particular order...
I worked with Shelley Long and Steven Wright several years ago when I was doing
a show for Comic Relief with Second City. Shelley Long and I had done summer
stock theater at the same place in northwestern Illinois, so we were comparing
notes on that experience. Steven Wright... wow, where do I start? What an
interesting character. He was actually very down to earth. Since I was there
as the pianist for the show, we talked a great deal about music and
composition. He was telling me about the music he writes on his guitar. He
gave me his phone number before we left, and I really wish I had called it just
so I could hear what on earth Steven Wright would have on his answering
machine!
Met Peter Yarrow one summer when I was working at Ravinia Festival just north
of Chicago and PP&M were performing. Very friendly from what I remember. He
also mentioned that he had close friends with the same name as my family and he
wondered if we were related.
Also at Ravinia, since it's the summer home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra,
I met plenty of classical musicians and opera singers in my 5 years there, but
my sister had the best stories from there, including some very interesting
encounters with Luciano Pavarotti and Kathleen Battle, to name a few.
Something kind of fun from my Second City years... of the 6 people in my
company when I first started playing there, 3 of them are currently on TV!
(One on SNL, 2 on Upright Citizens Brigade) So that's been fun to see how
people move on.
Also met Bonnie Hunt and Don Lake doing a radio show a few years ago. What
cool people. She's also a Second City alum (he might be, too, but I'm not
sure) and he played the city manager (?) in Waiting for Guffman, if you're
trying to place him -- tall bald guy.
I also used to work for John Hughes, so besides him, there were a bunch of
people I met through that job... I remember answering the phone once with Steve
Martin on the other end. Also ordering presents for John Candy's kids. Other
than that, I know there are others that I'm blanking on, plus various jazz
musicians that probably wouldn't mean too much to most of you out there. So
I'll wrap this up for now, but promise to add more if I remember them!

ummm...ok...I went and *saw* some very famous hockey players (Bobby Orr) but
alas, I didn't get to *meet* any of them. Have I lost your respect now Nate?
*sniff*
But I had a great time and got to see Bobby Orr (if I haven't already mentioned
him...tee hee) Derek Sanderson <who were both behind the bench because they
can't skate anymore :( > Phil Esposito, Ken Hodge, Johnny Bucyk and a host of
70s Bruins. On the Celebrity side there was Cam Neely, Michael J Fox (who only
skated one period due to his illness..what a great guy he is!) Kiefer
Sutherland, Scott Wolf, Dennis Leary, Lenny Clark (who had never skated before,
lol!), Chad Lowe, Ron Duguay, Bobby Farrelly, Rick Moranis, Tim Robbins, and
George Wendt ,who was on the bench with Elizabeth Hurley.
Of course it was all for fun, but I was STILL rooting for my Bruins...till they
traded Phil Esposito and Ken Hodge in the final period, to the other team!
ARRRRGHHH!! That brought back too many bad memories!
: )
Aw, I think everyones heard that story a THOUSAND times!....even you Nate. I'll
spare you all the details, but YES I met them!!!! Super guys!!
Wow, thanks for relating all that. You must be very proud of your

Grandy, Peter, Paul, & Mary, Mike Wallace from 60 Minutes and Chrissie
Hynde. <----man, is she scarey close up. LOL!
I am proud of my Father, although I am convinced that the 70's nearly did him
in. I think that he was the least equipped man to deal with that decade.
There was not a happier person when the 70's ended then my Father!! He didn't

the attitudes, the teachers........

Nope. On second thought. Sorry.
Hey, we just saw them blow the '79 7th SC game. To the Canadiens,

Coming into the 1970s, my parents (who grew up in rural Alabama) acted as if
the '60s never happened and they had just left the '50s with all values, etc.
perfectly intact. By the time the 70s ended, my dad was the one who had
adapted the easiest...my mom acts bewildered at anything that differs from her
1950s "Good guys wear white hats" ideals and is terrified of modern
technology...
Oh, she liked the 80s all right...the part about Ronald Reagan coming into
office, not the part about MTV, etc. Then Iran-Contra happened and just like
Watergate she didn't want to talk about it anymore...

You are soooooooooo correct about that. I have soooooo many pictures
of her grandaughter.
But nooooooooo I have to go to the longest line in America - The Lady's
Isle Post Office and get a special envelope, buy stamps and make sure
it's stamped do not bend.
I also have to figure out what the heck time it is in Mission Beach
versus Hilton Head to call her via the phone.
Ode to email and Instant Messenger. Even the super old fart retirees
in my neighborhood use email and IM - if not all for pics of thier
grandaughters or shall I say great grandaughters but for Bridge club
meetings.
BTW - Funny SC story about the internet and old farts!
There is this 75 year old lady that walks her poodle on the beach and
when I'm out walking my dog we always seem to cross paths. Anyway - we
got to talking one day about file sharing and I told her about how much
I resent the RIAA and thier campaign to abolish MP3s. She told me
about a site that allows people to trade CROSSTITCH patterns like MP3s
and that once legislation is passed against this sort of thing, the
companies that you have to buy these patterns from will join the
lawsuit bandwagon.
I thought "That's great - I don't have anything in common w/ her
generation yet I have a 'brother in arms' or shall I say 'brother in
threading needles'" HA! HA!

LOL! Thanks for a wonderful metal image, Prince at Shoppers Drug Mart,
that's almost as good as Danny Glover at Costco :-) What was the Harvey
Kietel meeting like, Dave? Please tell me he was a nice guy, I'm a sensitive
soul!
Billy Joel was a one time meeting (still got the autograph, though!).
Rod Stewart was a regular. Whenever he was in NY he would stop in,
sometimes for a few minutes or half the night! He was good friends with
the owners (they were invited to his wedding). Considering his
celebrity status, he was the most "regular guy" in attitude. Just a
really nice guy! Personally, I never thought he was good looking, but
his personality definitely was a "win over"!

Ya'll probably don't know them but that is all I have to go on as far as
hockey is concerned. Seeing how the powers that be in the nhl have deemed
Houston not fit for pro hockey. So instead we get the semi-pro leagues in
here & they wonderful. In the 70's it was the WHA & with the Howe family we
won back-to-back Avco cups. Then here in the 90's the IHL came a-calling &
we have a new team called, again, the Aero's who won the Turner Cup 2 years
ago. They have the best attendance of all the teams in the league av. about
11,000 per game. Yet the nhl STILL says uh-uh, no way, you can forget about
a team there. But we may get one yet as the owner of the Rockets is
constantly trying to buy a team & move them here. So far no luck yet. He
came REAL close to buying the Edmonton Oilers a few years ago. That would
have been weird having lost the NFL Oilers & all.

YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
SUBWAY SERIES!!!!!!!
Can't wait! That'll be much fun. Hey! I'm near Atlanta, why don't I go
kidnap Rocker and throw him in on the subway. Then you guys would
really have some fun.
That's almost as good as the Dodgers coming back to Brooklyn, well
almost I guess.
Can you believe that someone from Southern Ca. would say that?
Good, cause I'm a Padre fan. Too bad they stink!

History forbids me from rooting for the Mets even tho they were one of the
teams involved in 'The Greatest Game Ever Played'. I am not hoping for a
subway series so right now I am root root rooting for the M's. Altho I doubt
they will win it. If it does come to a subway series then I will go for the
yankees. Either way both teams have WAY too many ex-Astros. Go M's!!

Also be sure to put Rockers buddy, Spike Lee, on that same train since they
are both cut from the same cloth.

Billy, you always get me laughing! An equal oppurtunity offender.
However, I'd have to believe that Spike should be sent to our neck of
the woods. Ole Spike'd have a pretty rough time, huh? Out of his own
element. Heck, I know some African Americans that think he's a bit of
an idiot.
He was here last nite being interviewed on the local Fox affiliate. I didn't
watch it tho. Was too busy cussing the Astro's general manager for trading
Mike Hampton. And the Cards for laying down. How do you let your self get
shut out in a game that important???? I have just never liked his arrogant
attitude towards white people. Uh Spike's that is. Not Mike's :-) It is
obvious the Spike hates the existence of white folks on this planet just as
much as those sheet wearin' idiots hate his & other folks existence. I do
like 2 of his movies tho. That being 'School Daze' & 'Crooklyn' (sp?).

I am a huge Mets fan. I am just thrilled that they are in the series!

She's not sassy and arrogant, like she was on Designing Women. In fact,
her Southern Bell accent disappears and becomes just plain old Southern
after a day or two back home!
Hal sometimes stops in at the local convience store and gets a six pack
of Heiniken and ????. I forget the other imported beer he grabs. Seems
they both like the green bottled stuff, though. <g>

LOL!!! 'The Greatest Game Ever Played' was of course Game 6 in the Dome (yep
in Texas!! LOL!!) in the 1986 LCS. 16 innings of PURE adrenaline pumping
drama. It featured leads gained & lost, dramatic towering homeruns, & really
no chance to relax if you had the lead. The Mets won it & were DAMN glad to
have. It meant they would not have to face the Cy Young award winner Mike
Scott in a game 7. Once they beat us they were destined to win the Series
then as they played Boston. Shoot anyone who follows the game knows that the
Sox will NEVER win the Series due to the atrocity they committed back in
'18. That plus the famous "between the legs" fielding. And somewhere in
Anonymous-Ville Iowa Bill Buckner has just booted up his computer & ran
across this newsgroup & thought to himself " Hey I wonder what they talk
about in here."
Billy
BTW, I went through Atlanta twice...both at rush hour. I hope I never
