I met Richard Simmons in Chicago O’hare. We were taking the same flight to Canada and started up a conversation. I knew I had a friend waiting for me and asked if he would meet her, he was hilarious and very kind.
Was asked to a private party by Dennis Quaid back in the early 2000. I declined
Met David Hasselhof back in the late 80’s, he liked them young

Hey, passing moments count especially when it was JFK. We were let out of school when he visited Lancaster, Pa. on a campaign tour. His limo stopped right where I was standing and I shook his hand.

The comedian Dennis Leary is a friend's cousin. We knew him growing up and he was just part of our crowd. He had a good family and the love and support he gleaned gave him the confidence to explore the talent he has. I'm happy for him.

Back in the late 80s - early 90s, I worked for a transport company driving towncars and stretch limos. Met a fair number of celebs in that job including ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Judas Priest, Bill Murray, Wayne Newton, Freedom Williams, Backstreet Boys, Frank Abagnale, and some others.

I learned one thing about the rich and famous; they're lousy tippers.

Well, apparently I used to hang out with Bon Scott from AC/DC in my early teen years. Something that I don't remember doing. He was from the same small town I was and my friend told me that we used to hang with him at the dance venue in the city. I believe we were around 14 or 15 at the time and we used to sneak out as often as we could manage it, to get to this dance venue. It was the happen' thang. I just remember a lot of drunks, druggies and loud rock music, so he would have been (to me) just one of many drugged/drunken souls. This would have been before he was AC/DC.

oooh...I forgot! I once shared a Heathrow airport traincar with Michael Palin! Of course, I just stared at him like a starstruck teenager and never made a move.

Former England cricketer Tim Robinson nodded at me in the ladies wear section of a department store once and said “Hi Phil!”

It was early evening at Nottingham railway station. The platforms were deserted after the rush hour and I sat down waiting for my train. A train arrived on the other platform. As it left, there on the other platform was the then Prime Minister Tony Blair,

Mohammad Ali, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Bobby Bare, Hoyt Axton, Hollywood Henderson, Ricky Nelson, Leon Russell, Sherry Jackson ( the actress in Make Room For Daddy ), actress Amy Irving, author/musician/Texas gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman

Countless but can count enough of them to know that most are dead today.

Geoff Fieger bought me a beer in the 90's. LOL

Ted Allen (Queer Eye and Chopped) once spent ten minutes talking dogs with me at Meet the Breeds in NYC and I didn't even know it was him until someone told me and I just about fainted. There I was nattering on about grooming and how much exercise was needed and it was Ted mfing Allen! OMG. I'm so glad I didn't recognize him as a celebrity or I would have completely embarrassed myself.

I once worked for a company that the USGA chose to use to mail things to its members. I wrote the code for it and once the transition fully took place one of its VPs and a couple of others visited us and him and I shook hands and had a small talk.

I've been an extra in two major US horse movies, and got to work with Jeff Bridges and Elizabeth Banks in "Seabiscuit," and Diane Lane and John Malkovich, in "Secretariat."

I worked for Margaret Atwood ( Writer: Handmaids Tale, etc.) for about 6 months in the mid '80s doing home reno work. Even though she was away most of the time promoting "Cat's Eye" I had several encounters with her that gave me a good glimpse into her sense of humour and thought process. Quite a person!
