I’ve met all three.

I'll see your three and raise you both Clintons.

That's a long list from Slash to Norm Van Lier but the only time I got nervous is when I met my boyhood hero,Napoleon Solo (actor Robert Vaughn).

Also meeting Paul Revere and Mark Lindsay (Raiders) was a nice memory.

George Barris (Batmobile '66) was also cool.

Joe Mantegna and Scott Baio,Jacquelyn Smith,Van Williams. Most of these folks I mentioned were huge stars during my prime years. The Group:Chicago.

Oh , I forgot Mike North!

Former Cub Tom Gorzelanny occasionally played in our weekly card game back when we were in college and he went to Triton.

Good to see you back, jimmy. Don't be a stranger and take care of yourself. Every day is indeed a gift. Well said.

My list really pales in comparison to you guys.

I parked the cars of Mike North, John Cangelosi, and Michael Flatley. I bussed the table that had Ted Nugent.

If you know anything about bass fishing I have talked to Kevin Van Dam, Bill Dance, Seth Feider, and Mark Zona.

We used to take care of Muhammed Ali's vehicles at my old job, met him several times. Dude was huge, giant hands.

I was an "Intern for a Day" on the Spike O'Dell afternoon show on WGN in April of 1997, got to meet Spike, Max Armstrong, Anne Maxfield, and most impressively, THE CAP MAN!!

Probably Ernie Banks. We used to play for a travelling cup every weekend golfing. Used to see celebs at the course now and again. I was usually the one nominated to ask them to sign the cup. Also got Bill Cartwright to sign it for us but with Ernie I interrupted him while he was eating a hot dog. He said he would sign it when he was done eating so I sat there and talked with him for a few minutes before he signed it and I went on my way to the back nine.
