Bill Bennett
Many Reds/Bengals players/coaches as I grew up near Cincinnati

But my all-time, absolute favorite is the night I met and got a picture of myself with Bob "The General" Knight.

Cool! I'm an amateur figure skater (USFSA Adult Division) and have met quite a few well known skaters and coaches. It turns out that skating is actually a pretty small world and you can't really avoid it.
I skated on a session with Brian Boitano during the Skate San Francisco competition when he couldn't get his usual private ice. Pretty intimidating practising my tiny adult single axel while he was throwing triples! He's a real nice guy.
I've skated with Dan Hollander several times, he's a really good guy and even asked me how my double salchow was coming along.
The elite skaters that I know the best are actually sometime coaches of mine; every July for the past few years Oleg Vasiliev (former Olympic Gold medallist and world champion) has run a weekend adult pairs clinic, which I've attended for the last three years. His assistant coaches are current Olympic and world champions Tatiana Totmianana and Maxim Marinen (yeah, the ones who had the bad fall). It's been fun hearing their English improve over the years!
