I've met and briefly spoken to Garrison Keillor on two occasions. As far as email correspondence, I've only got a handful of on-air lcoal radio talent in my address book. I did meet the drummer from a well-known country-western band once and we'd bump into each other on a regular basis several years ago. I forget the name of the band at the moment (Randy something-or-other I think).

Not long after the World Trade Center attack, I emailed The White House and only got an automated response. The airlines were hurting and the law givers gave the industry multiple billions of dollars as a bailout. My suggestion was to instead give it to the travelers as a rebate. That way, the supporting infrastructer would receive the benefits as well when the passengers got a chance to fly "for free". Oh well, silly me for coming with such a harebrained scheme......

My wife meets famous people all the time. We'll be walking through an airport and all of a sudden she'll say "hey, there's Al Roker" and then she'll walk over and have a 5 minute conversation with the guy. She has done that with Al and about 4 local TV personalities within the past year. I could have walked past those same people 100 times and never recognized any of them.

I saw Dr. Andrew Weil in an airport once. I kept my distance and didn't bug him, but I was sorely tempted to say hello. I thnk that's the only famous person I've ever recognized in an airport.

On a flight I once sat next to a fellow who was a character actor who appeared in a couple of movies with Sammy Davis Jr. He was a nice guy and had a lot of interesting stories.

I also men Ernie Anderson once a long time ago. Most people have never seen him but have heard him for many years. He was The Voice of ABC-TV for a long time and was probably best known for the way he pronounced "The Loooooooove Boat" in their promos. What a great set of pipes. His son, Paul Anderson, is a filmmaker in Hollywood.

Also ran across the Wayans Brothers several times before they hit it big.

I met richard dean anderson one time.
I used to work at a local hardware store, and I was in the seasonal department selling christmas trees and patio furniture. I helped him tie a tree onto the top of his car. He was pretty nice.
