Posted : 13 Dec, 2010 03:57 AM For me it was George Bush, Sr. It was many years ago when he just finished his term and was settling down in Houston. It was a Memorial Park, a park where everyone runs. I was at the stretching area when everyone looks up and he jogged by. I started running and caught up with him, saying hello and gave him a compliment on how he handled the Desert Storm operation and welcomed him to Houston. He said thanks. I didn't want to look like a stalker so I ran on ahead. There was a secret service agent running a few feet behind him. The second one was Clay Walker. He was filming his "This woman and this man" video at the building I used to work at. Just briefly said hello with a few of my co-workers when he walked by. Well, he's not as famous, but hotter! :laugh: Post Reply

I am a Cubs fan and went to a Reds/Cubs game in Cincinatti and he was there signing copies of his book. I stood in line to get a his autograph for my brother-in-law on behalf of my sister for a Christmas present. I guess he was really young when he started playing and play during WWII I think...I took some heat for being a Cubs fan getting a Reds' players autograph but when I walked up to him he looked up at me and said, "Hey Cubbie". Pretty cool!! He has now passed away...only met him in that moment but definitely a cool guy! Post Reply

bcpianogal View Profile History	Who was the most famous person you have ever met? Posted : 13 Dec, 2010 08:21 AM I've met Roy Rogers Jr. (Dusty) in person at the Roy Rogers museum in Branson, MO. He's very nice and down-to-earth. There is actually a pretty neat story that I could tell about that meeting, but it's rather long. I've also met Alex Plasschaert, a Hollywood choreographer and dancer. Once he "retired", he spent 10 years choreographing "Singing Christmas Tree" programs and passion plays for a huge church in Memphis, TN. That's how I met him. A friend of mine went to that church, and she took me to rehearsal while I was visiting her one year. Supposedly, I've met Kenny Rogers (the country singer/actor), but I was really young and don't remember it. I do personally know his sisters (Barbara and Sandy), though, since they go to my church.

I forgot to mention - I had lunch with Dennis Quaid's mom about five years ago. She goes to the church I once went to. It was me, her and a good friend of mine. She is very sweet and proper, very much a lady. Post Reply

View Profile History	Who was the most famous person you have ever met? Posted : 13 Dec, 2010 08:50 AM I grew up with Randy Travis; Lived right down the road from him. He was a few grades below me in school-------Got lots of pics with him and my family( both before and after he hit it big). I still talk to his sister often. After his mom died, he gave his life to Christ (I heard). Recently I've seen him sing on John Hagee's broadcast. Post Reply

Posted : 13 Dec, 2010 09:57 AM I've worked for a few really big catering companies as a banquet server and that would often put me in the same room with famous folk. I've worked many Indy 500's, parties and and have have served many celebrities but I have actually met Danica Patrick and I've served and spoken to Tim Allen. Post Reply
