Who are they and where did you meet them? 1. Ron Howard (Director) - Met him by chance on the West Side of Central Park in NYC. He was just walking through Central Park on a Saturday morning with a female friend when I ran into him. I couldn't believe it. 2. Klaus Maria Brandauer (Actor) - Met him after his reading of Viennese Coffee House Literature at the Alter Oper in Frankfurt, Germany. Very pleasant but had obviously been drinking. 3. Anatoly Karpov (World Chess Champion) - Met him at the Sheraton in Oak Brook during a youth chess event. During a Q&A session I asked him what it was like meeting Bobby Fischer. |

George H.W. Bush. He came to our High School in 1988. Seemed like a nice guy. Interesting picture of all the popular, good-looking gals in my Senior class smiling and holding up a BUSH sign in our yearbook. |

Lots of politicians as a teenager and in my 20s. Mayor Sawyer was the most well known, although many of the aldermen came into my dad's place before the City Council would meet. Jesse Jackson a couple of times on flights, although he liked the front row of first class and I prefer the last row of first class. Non-politics, Michael Wilbon and his family on a London flight during Wimbledon. |

Ralph Nader asked me to vote for him in 2000 at Northwestern. I laughed in his face. Blago showed up at Poplar Creek Bowl during leagues during the 06 reelection campaign. He asked for my vote. I said no. Met Robert Patrick from NIN/Filter while meandering on the floor at Rosemont during the Family Values 99 tour. |

Andy Pafko would visit our church with his sister, a regular member. Grandpa always made sure I shook his hand. I got an autograph from Milo Hamilton after my WMU Broncos beat the Blue Demons in Kalamazoo. |

I've never heard anyone refer to John Luther Adams as John Adams, nor have I ever heard anyone refer to John Adams as John Coolidge Adams. There's a reason for that. |

I parked Michael Flatley, John Cangelosi, and Mike North’s car. I bused the table that Ted Nugent was at. Kevin Van Dam, Martin Truex, and Johnny Morris were in a boat fishing next to me last summer. I talked to them about how nice of a day it was. I would bet money that Bob Odenkirk was our server at Ed Debevic’s back in the 90s. When he told the story of working there I immediately recalled the one time I went there and the very distinctive server we had which matches him. |

He was a writer on SNL in the 80s but he had the HBO show in the 90s i think. |
