      I've also had a run in with Sandra Bullock while partying it up in Austin, Tx. Ohhh man that woman turns my knees to rubber and melts me down with her voice.....shhhhh don't let the misses see this! lol!
      I also met Maya Angelou back in high school, very nice person to meet, very insperational!

      I've met The lead singers of Sevendust, Coal Chamber, and Live, members of Live used to live in my city for awhile and delivered food to them on several occasions while working as a delivery driver.

      Lastly I met George W Bush back when he was the governer of Texas. I gave him a tour of my M1A1 when I was stationed at Ft Hood.
      I wish I could meet George W. Bush someday. He is my most admired person of all times.

          Are you serious or am I hinting some sarcasm? He seemed pretty down to earth to me. I didn't really mind him being the president, and that's all I'm gonna say about that! This was in 2000 right before the presidential hopefulls started their hardcore campaigning, so there wasn't Secret Service folks out the ying yang!

              I knew the late Mr. GTO. Quint Stires. About seven years ago, he turned my brothers '69 convertible into a very serious machine.

              Mom's met Willy Nelson a time or two.
              Only cool person my dad has met is Ben Stein

              one of my best friends has been to a few Bruckheimer premiers ( titans & pirates 1&2)
              another one of my best buds met Cheech & Chong

                Absolutely.

                He's truly made a name for himself.

                      I think I saw Dennis Gage (my classic car, big moustache) many years ago at world of wheels. Could have been a convincing look a like.

                        I met Gary Sinise when he was on a USO tour in Iraq. I've got a picture somewhere around here of him with a group of us. Have to look for that....

                          I got the chance to meet and shake hands with James Best and Byron Cherry (Rosco P. Coltrane and Coy Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard). Got both their autographs, too. Got pics of James Best, Ben Jones, Sonny Shroyer, Rick Hurst, Donna Douglas, Margaret Pellegrini (Munchkin in the Wizard of Oz), and Butch Patrick. Saw but didn't get pics of Catherine Bach, Don Pedro Colley, and Byron Cherry. View thread on this here.

                              Forgot to mention, back when I worked at Kroger (my first job), I had a manager who had met Johnny Cash and Clarence Gilyard (played Trivette on Walker, Texas Ranger).
