I met Jerrel Wilson when I was 3 years old. He taught me every aspect of punting at that time. He said I was awesome.

I should add that He and my father used to hang out at Grand Lake.

You met Elle the body? How hot and is she nice or a bitch?

We moved to the Charleston SC area about five or so years ago-- Bill Murray is the owner or part owner of a few restaurants as well as the local minor league baseball team. Not uncommon to see him at a high school sporting event, hanging out with tour guides downtown, at the airport, etc. Chatted with him a few minutes before this picture was taken-- reserved that day; dry humor.

President Trump (then candidate) spoke at my place of work back in December 2015 at a rally. I shook his hand briefly and had a few words before he went out; in private he was nothing but complimentary and affable; "Beautiful place, beautiful place; we are so happy to be here. You must love it here. Beautiful.". About 90 seconds later on stage he was ripping into CNN or some writer, calling them a clown. Very much like a Goodfella.

I mentioned years ago in this thread about hanging out with Rob Zombie and his wife for a night at their house. Not what I expected.

I don't remember which tour it was anymore, except that it was the tour where he decided to play in all the towns he always overnighted between concert nights in the past. This one was in Columbia MO. Jason Bonham (Bonzo's son) was his drummer. He did three encores, playing all Led Zeppelin numbers. Needless to say it was really late when we finally got to the car and left. We pulled up to a light, and a limo pulls up next to us, the window rolled down, and there's Robert Plant lighting a cigarette. I said a number of things, some in English, and he just smiled and said, "nice to meet you. Do you know if there's a pub about at this hour?"

My buddy, who was from there suggested a place, and off they went. We arrived at the same place, and the limo was there, but the bar was closed. Our car and the limo were the only two cars on the street. We all got out, and Robert stepped out when he saw it was just us and w had a short chat before he got back into the limo and drove off (I tried not to be a gushy fan, but I may not have succeeded). He was very cool about the whole thing.

Wow Robert Plant and Chuck Berry! They would be in my Top 10 to meet for sure.

I met Keaton and Courtney on the slopes of Crested Butte CO over 30 years ago. They were dating at the time. I met Keaton first on some run. Then a little later I ran (should say my brother and I) ran into both of them at the warming house (like a bar halfway up the mountain). I was surprised at how much shorter they looked in real life. Keaton was no taller than me. I got to shake their hands, and we had a short chat while waiting in line to order some food.

Mcguire, Ozzie, and Willie I met while I was still working for the Sporting News Magazine at a work function (annual "Great St. Louis Athletes" dinner). All very cool people. Willie Magee was extremely humble and a gentleman.

Elle I met because a buddy of mine was working for SI magazine. He calls me up one day and asks if I want to come down to FL and work for free. I was in the middle of trying to get a real job at the time and told him I was too busy to screw around. Then he said, "that's too bad, because I can get you on the set with Elle Macpherson." At the time I was her biggest fan. I bought plane tickets immediately and a week later I was doing gopher stuff for Elle. One of my jobs was holding a towel along with another person on the other side of her while she changed outfits. She was called "The Body" for a damn good reason.

Jeanette Lee I met twice; once in STL about 30 years ago at an exhibition tournament. Beautiful and a true hustler. She was playing games $50/rack. I lost $150, but she likes to banter while she plays so we had a good conversation. Ten years ago I ran into her again here in PHX at another pool tournament. She remembered me and asked if I wanted to try to win my money back! I lost another $200 trying.

Met Mike Massey at the same tourney with Jeanette; very nice guy. Played him a couple games as well.

The Pearl I met in STL again about 30 years ago. He just walked into my pool hall with 3 or 4 other guys late one night. There's a long story with this one, but suffice it to say we played a few games and he liked to tell war stories.

The Alis are/were very good friends of my good friend's daughter. I've spent two afternoons with Muhammed and Laila in my buddy's backyard. Muhammed is one of the coolest people I've ever met. Laila is, words don't do her justice, she's an incredible person.

Sandra Bullock I met while I was working, going business-to-business trying to sell promotional marketing stuff on Wilshire blvd in LA. She was getting her nails done, and wasn't happy that I interrupted her nail time. She told me that what I was doing wasn't legal (I had a permit, so it was), and that I should just leave. I recognized her, but she seemed like she was in a hurry and not in the mood for a fan, so I simply said, "nice to meet you Ms. Bullock. I like your movies." She just waved her hand at me and I left.

Morgan Fairchild I met at Sky Harbor Airport here in PHX about 8 or 9 years ago. She was waiting for her luggage at the carousel just like a regular person. She is tiny; maybe 5' 2" at the most. Also still very beautiful. We had a short chat, and she told me she was there to do play and that I should come.

John Cusak I met in college. One of his good friends went to the same school and one day he came for a visit. My buddies and I were playing some pick-up basketball in what was known as the Swamp behind the dorms and up walks John Cusak. He's short, about 5' 8" and skinny as a rail. He was also a big time hacker. Fouled the crap out of me.

Neil and Derrick I met purely by chance in a bar in KC about two years before Derrick passed.

Yeager and Hoover I met at airshows, Yeager twice. Both are men among men. They can come off as arrogant, but then if anyone could get away with it, it'd be those guys.

Duke and Willie I met in STL in a bar more than 25 years ago. They were tying one on, and I have no idea why they were there, but once I said I was a pilot and bought them a round, we had a grand time. They told me so many great stories I don't remember them all. Duke Cunningham and Willie Irish Driscoll were the only two U.S. fighter aces to come out of the Vietnam War.

Chuck Berry I met about 26 years ago in STL. Back then Chuck used to show up at blues bars around town and just play. One night I was at a place near the river front and in walks Chuck Berry with his guitar and amp. After his first set, I walked over and introduced myself and he said, "can you get me a drink?" I think he thought I was working there. I went over to the bar and told the bartender that Mr. Berry wanted a drink, and he poured one which I took back to Chuck. At that point, the manager saw me and asked me what I was doing. I told him, "Chuck asked me for a drink, so I got him one." Mr. Berry figured out was going on at that moment and he just laughed and shook my hand.

Just ran into Randy Johnson, "The Big Unit" while eating lunch at Pomo Pizzeria Napoletana here in Scottsdale. Dude is a tall bean pole. Only drank ice tea during lunch. With his wife.

I have a good chance of meeting Bill Russell this week as well since he is coming in 2-3 times a week.

Barkley usually around too no one has seen him recently since his New Year's Eve party at the restaurant Living Room in the Shops at Gainey Ranch here in Scottsdale.

With Spring Training underway, I expect to see some more celebs.

Sat next to Carl Peterson on plane.
Sat next to George McGovern on a plane. Very cordial and a nice man
Sat next to Olivia Newton John from Chicago to SanFran. I almost passed out from lack of blood. She was gorgeous and very nice conversation.

Carl was a dick.
