Celebrities you have seen or met
 
I once took the order of the kid from ET. he was in college at the time. At Arby's.

More interestingly, while I was flying to Guam on my mission, I had a stopover in Hawaii. I saw Darryl Hannah on a payphone. Then in the courtyard, I rounded a corner and there she was with a very tall handsome youngish man. Walked right by them.

Later on the flight, while talking to a steward, he mentioned that the guy was John Kennedy.

Later I was to learn that John had spent time in Micronesia as a boy, scuba diving etc.

There have been a few others, but this is the one that seems most tinged by history.

I met Robin Williams. For a comedian, his eyes looked awfully sad.

I met Rosa Parks before she died, which was really cool.

And I met the artist Dale Chihuly. You've probably never heard of him but his work is stunning.

Mike and I know Chihuly. Mike has a nice photo of one of his sculptures found in one of the buildings he works in. His work is stunning. If I remember, he's from Washington? (my home state)

If I met Robin Williams I would punch him in the kidney.

I should clarify that we've never met Chihuly, just know his work :) Maybe Mike will post the photo he has.

Barbara, very cool list of celebrities to meet.

MikeWaters 01-05-2007 10:09 PM

to clarify, we know of Chihuly. We don't know him.

I forgot Todd Zeile and Kyle Boller. Both went to my rival HS. Todd came back one year and donated all new gear and uniforms to the HS team. Boller dated my best friend's ex-girlfriend after they broke up. Then he started messing around with Tara Reid.
