I met Evelyn Kennedy once. Her husband Robert, was Attorney General at the time. They attended the same Church
(St. John's) we did. I met her at a luncheon she gave for Catholic Wives Club at her home in N. Virginia. We loved the
Kennedys. I met George Hamilton, the actor on his boat. We installed a jib crane to launch and retrieve the Zodiac.
I had Wolfman Jack, Joe Pesci, Bruce Willis as passengers in my cab. All good tippers. The worst? Robin Leach.

I didnt really meet them, but I once saw Ronald Reagan, Ann Blyth. and John McEntire from across a ditch when they were filming a Wagon Train Episode in Kanab, Utah. There was a movie fort there and a movie town where they filmed a lot of westerns.

Tragically I accidentally on purpose ran into Pierce Brosnan in the Harrods Toy Department where he was shopping with his son.(years ago). I apologised profusely and he assured me that it was fine. My right shoulder still tingles when I think about it.

God your lucky. I would have slobbered on him though haha. Yummy.
I met Frankie Muniz once in a Hard Rock Cafe. Got a picture with him. He was cool. Said he liked my shirt that i dont think he actually understood. But atleast he was nice. Yea. It was good.

My uncle met Debra Messing and apparently she was a very bad word. He was suppose to take her from a plane to the car ( sgt major) and he went to shake her hand and introduce himself and she said "get out of my way" all snotty. I love her though. You'd never expect that from her. Guess she had a bad day.

I met Jason Mraz. He was definitely not a disappointment in person! Considering that his music is very down to earth and pure, I didn't expect him to be a diva or anything. I was pleasantly surprised at the normalcy of his personality. He really is a cool guy!

I met Malcolm McDowell, the British actor(Clockwork Orange). He was a guest at the same hotel my wife and I were staying at in Puerto Vallarta. Also John Lee Hooker(Boogie Chillun') in a bar in Eugene, Oregon

I met Russell Means in a bar in Denver, Colorado in 1971. Mr.Means was less than gracious, and I've never
forgotten the interlude. Means was one of the founders of AIM, the American Indian Movement. He recently
passed away. I'll have more to say about Means and what he means to me in a subsequent post.

I bumped into Eddie Albert from the Green Acres TV show when he was coming out of the CBS studios in Los Angeles. He apologized for almost knocking me down, he seemed like a real nice guy.

I met Wayne Newton on a flight from LA to Las Vegas once. He was very gracious. Once we were airborne, he
came around to each and everyone of us and introduced himself. It didn't take long. Besides my wife and I,
there was the pilot, co-pilot, two stewardesses, Newton's wife(he snubbed her of course), and four college
kids who were wearing loud Hawaiien shirts and even louder attitudes. Mr. Newton didn't bother with them.
The co-pilot did. When they were refused an in-flight drink, they took great umbrage. The stewardess disappeared
into the cockpit. She reappeared, with the co-pilot right behind. He told them to shut the f up. He had something
real important to tell them. "You've got a choice of destinations. If you shut up you'll land in Las Vegas. If you
don't, you land in LA and you'll spend the night in jail, guests of LAPD. which do you prefer?" Twenty minutes
later, we landed in Las Vegas. It was real quiet the rest of the flight. Just like I like it.
