Let's see...I met James Garner when I was in my teens...he was at a golf course near my house. Met a couple memebers of the Doobie Brothers. When I was living in Palms Springs I managed a store downtown, and saw all kinds of celebrities from a distance. The strangest was Tammy Faye...and I do mean strange.

Dexter Coakley-Dallas Cowboys

I was parked at a red light next to Rock Hudson. He didn't look at me at all.

[McLynnan]

Neat idea. My daughter and I had a table next to Ted Nugent and his family at Ninfa's restaurant in Waco about a year ago. I didn't have the nerve to approach them -- they kept their eyes strictly to themselves with a "do not approach us" body language. Can't say as I blame them.

[Maximus of Texas]

I've ran across sports figures but never any Hollywood celebs. PaulaB, JLH is a great one to run across. She is a hottie.

At one time in my life, I use to collect autographs..in doing so, I've met Leroy Anderson,(he composed "Sleigh Ride", "The Typewriter Song", "The Syncopated Clock"), B.J. Thomas,(who knocked me down as he was running up a flight of stairs, he stopped to help me up; nice guy,) Mercer Ellington,(who was the son of the great Duke Ellington) and Cootie Williams(who played the famous "Growl" trumpet heard on many of Duke Ellington's early recordings) -umm, oh yeah...Chuck Mangione,(truly a nice guy)and Count Basie.

I've also met some other people that are rather well known as well - Francis A. Schaeffer, Josh McDowell, W.A. Criswell, R.C. Sproul, Jay Adams..Chuck Girard(of LoveSong)Phil Keaggy, ooh yeah.. Rayfield Wright(former Dallas Cowboy, he let me hold his SuperBowl ring,lol).

There are a few others that I've met as well; but I just can't recall everyone's name at this moment.

[Mike Bates]

Let's see. Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, Elston Howard, Yogi Berra, Virginia Mayo, Dana Andrews, Davy Jones of the Monkees, Eric Burdon of the Animals, Sam the Sham, George H. W. Bush, Jesse Helms, Wayne Newton, Mike Ditka and. . .

YOU are the perfect person to appreciate this.

I saw TOM SELLECK one time on a beach in California.

Holy crap, he is everything you would think. I froze. And stared. And swooned.

And missed my chance of becoming Mrs. Tom Selleck.
