My father met either Charles Lindbergh or Eddie Rickenbacker (I forget which, he was a big fan of both).

He saw Queen Elizabeth in the late 1950s when she passed through Maryland and toured our local Super Giant grocery store.

I was a few feet away from Muhammad Ali when he opened a grocery store one street over from where my dad saw the Queen.

I met Barry Goldwater in his capacity as Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee when he was shown my ops floor. I had advance warning so I had my Goldwater ‘64 pin on.

My grandparents met Bonnie and Clyde. They asked them for directions in Beaumont, Texas.
