Dang... I am out of cards! Have to fold... I did meet Jacques Cousteau....

Well that's as high as I can go too. Although I did once shake Joe Gibbs' hand. I came home and told my wife "I can throw, I can throw!"

Actually one of my favorite stories comes from back in 1994 when I was unemployed but working as a "consultant" (which meant I wasn't getting paid) for Jack Kemp's PAC. I got to go to the Super Bowl in Atlanta. That Saturday there was a luncheon. Kemp was there along with Roger Staubach, Joe Namoth and yes, OJ (pre-murders), as well as several others football greats. I didn't get my picture with any of them, but hey, I was there...

My wife was working part time for a photographer friend of ours. That same week, she worked the Reagan/Thatcher dinner in DC.

Here we were surrounded by all this greatness and I think we had $12.00 in the bank...

I went to a dinner-lecture with Maggie Thatcher speaking.... It was part of a political lecture series that was really cool. Colin Powell was part of the same series.

Maggie Thatcher talked about free trade, and favored no trade restrictions at all between countries. She said that if we let the people of China and the former Soviet Union watch the Cosby Show, they would not remain content with their current conditions very long and would fight for their own change.

A horrid summary of course, but her point was socialism would not look attractive if we let our stuff in and let folk have a taste of the good life. I remember he being a fabulous speaker, with great presence in the room.

What do you mean, everyone knows that all GOP politician's are filthy rich! (I know what you are talking about from personal experience.)

My sister once cussed out Michael Tilson Thomas in front of our mother.
