Who was the most famous person you have ever met?
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:

The first famous person I ever met was Steve McQueen. I was in a motocross race in Carlsbad, CA and I looked down the line up for the race and there he was right next to me. He smiled and wished me luck and then I never saw him again. He was really good.

I was in the music business for 15 years in Nashville. I met a lot of famous people there. I became friends with a guy named L.E. White. He was fourteen when he started playing fiddle for Bill Monroe and later he started working for Conway Twitty and ran Twitty Publishing. He had 29 songs recorded and released by Conway.

Steve McQueen was a man and a half. It's a pity that I'll never get to meet him.

I almost forgot John Thune, Senator from South Dakota and a future President of the United States. He better be because I told him he would be and took a picture with him and his brother Bob, my old Pastor from California.

it depends on who you consider famous and in what circle, but I have met the owner of the Cincinnati Reds, Bob Castellini. Met him at a wedding I was videotaping, his family was friends of the bride. Very nice guy, it was a shame I was working. Thankfully I did get to talk a little Reds baseball with him before I asked him if he would care to say something on the wedding video. Him and his wife did say something, so I have it on tape :D
