Interesting! But I'll bet you can't top this:

While hitchhiking years ago I was given a ride by Ted Bundy! ;-)

But on a serious note: I was in the courtroom about 10 years ago when I heard Michael Skakill,wearing an orange prison jump suit, testify that "two black guys" murdered Martha Moxley...that the Skakills' live in tutor murdered her..and that *his own brother* murdered her. And I got to talk briefly to Dorothy Moxley...a lovely lady.

Two brushes with mediocrity:

July 4, 1999. Met W. Bush after the Fourth of July parade, Amherst, New Hampshire. He was standing there alone and I walked up to him and got his autograph.

September 13, 2018. I was outside waiting for the 2:30 P.M. tour at Alnwich Castle, Northumberland, UK, when I turned and saw Prince Charles walking behind me. I got some photos of his receding backside, but then he turned to chat with three blokes there working on repair and maintenance. They seemed unimpressed with HRH and kept their hands in their pockets.

JD Farag sent me a video text saying “Hello/Greetings” to me.

Made me feel like a kid getting his favorite Baseball Star’s autograph on a card.

I served LeRoy Van Dyke curly fries at the Iowa State Fair. Everything else just doesn’t compare.

She encountered Clint Eastwood at the Bangor, ME airport, and spoke with him briefly.

We were having dinner on Mt. Desert Island in Maine when our waitress informed us that the gentleman dining at the table next to us was Billy Joel. No Christie, though. :-(

Once, quite a few years ago, my sister-in-law was watching her daughter’s gymnastics class. She got to talking with a small blonde woman standing next to her, and during the conversation my SIL was doing a bit of critiquing of the students. After the other woman left, someone asked my SIL if she knew who that was. Turns out she had been lecturing Cathy Rigby on the finer points of gymnastics.

Chuck Norris once met me, so now every famous person who meets me regales their fr about having met me instead of the other way around.
