Who would you say was the most famous person you ever encountered?
Did you get pics? feel free to share them.
I will look for a few that I have and post them later.
This time you start.

Went to a Baxter Black show at the county fair out in St. Francis a number of years ago when I was out there for work. I had to stay overnight at this little motel there and the next morning he was leaving the motel at the same time as I left. I visited with him for about 10 minutes. A real nice guy and he put on one funny show. Especially funny if you grew up around farming or ranching.
There have been a few others, but I'll save them for later.

We went to Branson Mo. a number of years ago, they had a Andy Griffeth show reunion, Andy Griffeth wasn't there, they said he was Matlocking, but I got my picture taken with Don Knotts and the rest of the cast minus Ron Howard.
Got my picture taken with Chip Foose last year
my family and I hung out with Loretta Lynn and her Daughter at Loretta's Ranch when we were visiting the ranch one time, Loretta came down to talk to her daughter who was performing at the ranch.
I got to talk to Elvis's dad Vernon for a short bit, while visiting Graceland.

Shook the hand of 2 presidents. (Ron Reagan- G. Bush Sr.) Said a speech for one. Still remeber it- "Ladies and Gentlemen, Honored guests, the President of the United States". I also had to announce the president of France, and a Bishop from Rome.
In Turkey I "think" it was Colon Powell that barked at me to pic up a water bottle rolling between a couple tents. When a general barks at you- you don't look to see who it is.
I have seen the top of Modonnas head as she got off an air plane in Rome.
I've seen the Pope (JPII) 31 Times, and was within 2 ft of him once, in the Vatacan for mass 27 times.
I got married by an equivelent of a Governor in Italy. (the first time around)
When I was around 10 I got my picture with Adam West (Batman), and Roger Moores autograph in Omaha.
I saw the whole crew from the "Storm Chasers" series on the road- and when they pulled off the road I talked with the camera men some.
OH and I was annoyed by Goofy at Disney World. (Long Story)
I also have 3 great "Missed Encounters" stories I should make up a post about them.

Through my work in the hotel business, I have met the Oak Ridge Boys, Ron Jeremy, and Poisen, and through the club I work at, I have met Kellie Pickler, Kevin Fowler, Phil Vasser, and Steven Holy. I also met the new version of Lynyrd Skynyrd at the state fair a few years ago.

I thought it was the amount of rain (or lack there of) at the coffee shop.
