1. Pete Rose. My friend's father opened a sports hall of fame and he paid Pete to come and sign autographs on opening weekend. Since I was a friend of the owners kid I got some decent time with the hit king. He was kind of a dick.
2. Steve Young. 3. Jeff Chatman. He was famous in 1989. 4. Patrick Duffy. That's right Babs, you may have met Tom Selleck, but I met Bobby from Dallas. Sadly for Patrick he was flying coach as his Dallas days were long gone. 5. Pres. Faust while crossing a street in downtown SLC. He chatted me up and I thought that was kind of him when he was so busy. 6. The drummer for Iron Butterfly. I have no idea what his name is but he was standing in my living room. 7. Orin Hatch. I was dating his daughter's best friend/roommate. The good Senator came to visit the girls one evening whilst I was watching TV in the living room. I'm pretty sure I saw him give a disapproving look to my girlfriend as if to say "why are you wasting your time with that mullet sporting loser"? 8. Ken Griffey Sr. I went to Jr's very first pro ball game when he was playing single A ball. The Bellingham Mariners were playing the Medford A's. Sr. was sitting right behind me and he gave me his autograph. When Jr. broke his bat during one at bat he walked to the dugout and chucked it in the trash can located right next to us. My little brother was smart enough to go fetch it and he got it signed after the game. 9. Ken Griffey Jr. Same story 10. The entire Portland Trailblazer team in 1985 or 6, I can't quite remember the year. In those days you could hang out right outside the locker room door outside. We waited for the players as they made their way in from the parking lot. I had a cast on my arm and every player signed it on the way in. They were all very cool and Clyde Drexler was my favorite player but Sam Bowie was by far the nicest one. Perhaps he was sympathetic to the broken bone thing, but he spent a lot of time talking to a couple of punk kids. |

Stu Lantz (before Lakers/Clippers game)
Mike Smith (in my stake) Peter Vidmar (my bishop - now in stake presidency) The girl who played Julie in the Saturday's Warrior movie (dated my brother who is now gay) One of the members of Manhattan Transfer (our kids had an acting class together) Clarence Thomas Neal Maxwell (set my father apart as M.P.) Howard Hunter Zach on CB () Also, on my mission, I taught a discussion to a guy who claimed to be one of the original Harlem Globetrotters. I'm still waiting for my brother to introduce me to Chester Bennington (Linkin Park's lead singer), who is a good friend of his.

Does sticking a dollar in a g-string really count as "interacting" with?

Babs, did you see this? You met someone who met John Cusack. Now, I can't even say that.
