Obligatory self-correction to post #10:
wiswer = wiser
End paren after "eyes."

I was about 12 years old, and he was the guest of honor at a Change of Command or something that we attended (Dad was a Navy pilot, and later something with nuclear weapons). Anyway, I got to shake his hand (he wasn't any taller than I was :-), and say, "I'm very pleased to meet you, Admiral!" He smiled and said I was a nice young lady, and we moved on.
Anticlimax, I know!
