I'll take a shot:
Senate candidate Ted Kennedy introduce his wife to my family while waiting for the Miss Massachusetts to begin.

Crashed Nixon's 1st inauguration behind the podium and looked inside the President's limo less than a foot away, stood behind Gov. Reagan as he was interviewed by Mike Wallace, shook hands with Hubert Humphrey and as wife. President Nixon waved to me as he drive by.

Marched in LBJ's state funeral as a member of the Coast Guard.

Spent an hour interviewing Governor Dukakis in his office as a business magazine editor.

Met Ted Kennedy in 1962 when he first ran for the Senate. JFK was in the WH, so naturally Ted won. Of course, butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth. This was a few years before Chappaquiddick.

Met William Christopher (Father Mulcahy – M*A*S*H) on a flight back East from L.A. Very sweet, very humble. He was astonished that I knew his real name, not just Father M.

Met Ed Asner at my niece’s wedding – he just happened to be at the fancy restaurant where the reception was held. Very courteous, told me not to forget to watch Mary Tyler Moore that night, as it was a Saturday.

Met Stacy Keach in Burbank – he was filming a Mike Hammer episode. Very nice guy, posed for a picture with my best friend.
