Going through customs at the Bahamas standing in front of me with his back to me was this tall bald guy - Sean Connery! I was completely oblivious to him! I am busy trying to keep track of our luggage, my then 10 year old daughter & my wife. My wife later told me who it was, she said he spoke to me, I don’t remember it. I was completely focused on luggage etc. so I was probably rude. Sad thing is right before the trip I watched one of my favorite Sean Connery movies - “The Molly McGuires”. My excuse is, “He had hair in that movie!”.
In London saw Nicole Kidman & Tom Cruise cross the street with their “posse”. I was one layer of “posse” behind them.
While I was single I was going to lunch in Georgetown & George Will got out of a Porsche right in front of me. It was very sudden I almost walked into the door.
One day I when at work in DC I was entering a government building and watched Wolf Blitzer’s several attempts at using a security turnstile. He demonstrated why he scored in negative numbers on Celebrity Jeopardy!
Set next to Louis Rukeyser on an airplane on a trip to California. Nice, friendly guy and as you would think interesting to talk to!
This is the first time I've seen this picture. When I was a kid in Honolulu, my parents took us to the airport to see Elvis. The two lane road to the airport was jammed with cars.
In the early sixties, you had to walk from your plane across the cement to the terminal. My father had an 8 mm movie camera. He waited in the huge crowd at the front of the plane. He was only able to get Elvis stepping out of the plane. I remember seeing this video. Elvis looked one inch tall.
When Elvis got off the plane he didn't go into the terminal. He walked along the fence shaking everybody's hands. My mother and older brother shook his hand. I remember all the leis he had around his neck.
When my father was stationed in Bermuda, he met Vice President Nixon. Nixon was a guest of my father's boss. The dinner ware, dishes, silverware, etc., came off of the captured German submarine U-505.
My nephew is in the Air Force. He is stationed in Colorado Springs. He briefed Vice President Pence about his job when Pence toured the base. They let the Vice President send some commands to a satellite. There are pictures of Pence's visit on the Internet.
