Willy G at the Bullseye, he wanted to dance with my woman, told him to find his own damn woman.

Was longtime friends with the drummer of Pantera. Sadly Vinnie died a few years ago.
Met Missy Gold in the bar at the Melrose Hotel in Dallas. She has a sister that's an actress
like she was, Tracey I think. Missy was in the old sitcom,Benson. I was in the Navy at the time
and didn't have a clue who she was til another dude in the bar told me she was famous. Anyway...
My brother wouldn't stop bugging me about that night for years. All I saw that night was a skinny
butt blonde that had big blue eyes.

Clinton, shook hands and chatted for a while. Very personable.
Michael Jordan
Bob Hope
Jerry Clower
Bunches of NFL players have hunted with me.
Ted Nugent . Bought a S&W model 27 from me. Nice as can be.
Arnold Swarchenegger (however you spell it) super nice. Gave me an autographed book.
Bill Dance took me and pops fishing.
Senators, governors
Beaver10. Stayed and hunted with us a few days. Absolute charmer. Mrs Godogs57 was smitten.

Brad was a super nice guy. Very personable. Guided in the ranch I hunt. Wife with me…,didn’t want to go back home.😂
He did top shelf restorations on vintage Winchester lever actions a’la Turnbull. Yes, he passed away from COVID.

I was sitting in my office one day when the phone rang.

It was Oscar Robertson. Oscar was on the board of our mutual fund company. The owner, my boss's boss, told Oscar to call me. Oscar was looking for a laptop for his daughter for college. This was when laptops were fairly new. I'd been the first guy I knew who had one, and it used to illicit stares from people in airports.

I told Oscar to call a guy whom was supplying the company with PCs, and he'd get him set up with a good one. There was a little noise and Oscar told me to wait a second. He came back on the line and apologized, " I'm such a fumble-fingers, I dropped my pen on the floor-- can't hold onto anything."

"Sir," I said. "I've seen you play. I simply cannot believe that."

Met Richard Branson in Atlanta where I was flying to Jordan. Virgin Air uses Delta lounges. He had quite a gaggle with him.

The Rat Pack back in '71, Bob Hope and the Gold Diggers a few years before and after. 'Nam wasn't all bad. Sandy Nelson in '71. Don Johnson in '87.

We all know you're a stud and your wife is hot as fugg. We're blessed to have you.

This has to be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. Dang…

We ran into Big Boy in Tonopah, he didn't have much to say.

Travis Kelce autographed the Chiefs cap I was wearing at one of their training camp practices.

Had a visit with Walter Payton after he had retired from football at car race in Des Moines, IA

My wife and I shared a dinner table with Baxter Black, DVM and his wife. Heard a few stories not suitable (but hilarious!)for a public audience.

Had connections at WE Fest and had access to the backstage areas for many years. Met a lot of country stars over the years. This gave me an "in" with a country music station so met many more over several years. Met Shania Twain in her mid-teens before she took that name in a back woods town in Ontario. Met her again a decade later where she confirmed it was her.

Scrimmaged against Jerome Benton of the band The Time back in high school, met him later on and was on his guest list at 1st Avenue. Didn't use that much, not my music scene but I did use it to impress dates a few times. Also got to know Big Chick, Prince's bodyguard, through a friend's sister. He was the nicest guy you could meet but one wouldn't want to get on his bad side. Though one would have to really work at it to get there.

Lived a few blocks from Kent Hrbek and ice fished and visited with him and his wife at the local tavern with him regularly until he moved. Met Paul Krause and Bob Luertsema through their childrens' school and kept in sporadic contact with Bob for nearly 3 decades.

Dated a Cargill heir briefly. That was a relationship I should have worked harder on.

Ate lunch with John Beasley at the Pier in Chicago. Super nice guy, he seemed surprised that 2 rednecks from southern Tennessee were the only 2 that recognized him.

When I was little I used to like watching him paint. Seemed like he was as cool as a cucumber. Can we see a picture of the paintings?

Sold some old taxidermy pieces to the drummer for Alice Cooper.

Sounded like a pretty awesome job. What time frame was this?

When I was in the fire department and before it became a crime to be a heterosexual there was a yearly charity dance held at the Nile Country Club. The dance was for the local fire departments and nurses, mostly ER nurses and flight nurses. The theme of the party was a pajama party and I had no idea what to expect.

Here I was looking like a 23 year old Hugh Hefner in my silk pajamas while ER nurses who I only ever saw wearing scrubs were dancing and partying in lingerie. I didn’t hardly recognize them out of “uniform” but that night I gained a lot of respect for some of them and their “fitness”. 😄

I saw a cute chick and went up to ask her if she would like to dance. She said yes and we walked to the dance floor when I realized that I didn’t recognize her from an ER but rather from the TV. I was dancing with Janine Turner who was playing Maggie (iirc) from Northern Exposure. We danced for a couple of dances and then my buddy Dave asked if he could cut in. I’m a gentleman and stepped away, I was in a long term relationship at the time anyway, at least that’s what I told myself. Dave and Janine went out on a couple of dates and he thought she was a sweet girl. I spent the night dancing with Janine’s body double while Dave and Janine danced and we had a great time.

That dance for me was my first exposure to an Eyes Wide Shut meets Striptease evening and one I won’t forget….and not because I met a celebrity.

I’ve met a lot of celebrities like Lucille Ball, Peyton and Eli Manning and a bunch of NFL players. Our son went to the Manning passing academy so there were a bunch of NFL players that were either coaching or watching their own boys play. Sean Peyton was there but neither my son nor myself would shake his hand or pretend like we cared.

My wife worked at a performing arts center for a while, i had dinner with frankie avalon,extremely nice guy
I met sara evans
Charlie daniels
And had ray stevens sign the stump my fox squirrel is mounted on for that mississippi squirrel thing ,he said that was a first for him!
Tim tebo, extremely nice guy
There was many others she has met that i didnt care to and maybe others that weren’t memorable.

I was on the ground crew for the Atlanta Braves. Prior to a game we got to wander around the field. I liked to stand behind the batting cage, ten feet away from the plate and watch Hank Aaron hit home runs. I also liked to watch Pete Rose bat, he had a crewcut back then.
