Don’t leave Korn out of the meet n greet ..They were nobody on Jan 10 1996 ☠️

Sat at a bar in Boca Raton and had a couple drinks next to Robert Fuller. Met Davy Jones in a bar in west palm beach. Met Suzy Bogguss in a bar in Raleigh. Franco Harris friend of the family. Joe Louis, Clyde Barrow and Stonewall Jackson related to by marriage.
I also met Mike Schmidt, Willie Mays, Don Money, Cookie Rojas, Richie Allen, Larry Bowa and Frank Robinson. Anyone remember them?

Met James Drury once at Mule Camp shoot out. The following year I met William Smith. Both were showing their age.

I passed Sully in the Sea/Tac airport hallway once.... nodded to him.

Talked with Gov Tony Knowles (D) here in Soldotna once, at a F&G Advisory board meeting. I don't count weasel dicks as celebrity tho.

I worked for DEC consulting and was onsite for a few months at Sierra Community College where the 49ers had training camp. Joe Montana and Steve Young came in the data center asking to get into the office across the hall the watch films....

I didn't have a key. I called facilities. They said "Thanks man!"

my moment in the sun.

Oh I ran into Larry Czonka at the Sandia House coffee shop in Petersburg AK.

Giant, bear of a man with obvious aches and pains stood up to shake MY hand when we met. I was impressed.
I said the obligatory "Larry, I loved to watch you play". He said "thanks. How is the fishing? What are you using? etc."

Never knew about Korn..


You are like a almost Rock Star..
Ozzy and Korn...

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🥴🤣🤣

Not many, don’t get around much

Ethan Edwards (late member of the Fire) met James Drury, too.

Ran into Aaron Tippin and Lee Greenwood at DollyWood years ago. Talked turkey hunting with Aaron.

I used to go there and watch them practice when I was a kid. Talked to, got autographs from a lot of the
80s niner greats.

Yes. The Rat Pack. They helped me and some of my peers get drunk one night.

Dennis Miller & Bill Oreilly after their show in Indy in probably 2014. Dick Morris gave a talk locally maybe a year earlier and met him. Martina McBride after her show in a little amphitheater in 1996. Thomas Hearns in Detroit in a suite at a Pistons game.

Oh! And Hank “boatboy” from the forum. 😁

I been in Desmond Doss’s house

Aiden Quinn while they were shooting Elementary. Almost ran into him.

John & Bo Derek at Rockefeller center

Helen Mirren twice , once by Tourneau Corner on 57th and once downtown NY while they were shooting.
Her "handler" moved between us when I said "Hey that's Helen Mirren" my buddy said, "Who"

Soupy Sales on 3rd Ave. We were in a deli getting lunch.

Minnie Driver in Battery park. I think she was promoing her album at J&R music store (which is gone now).

I spotted Brook Shields, Meg Ryan and I think Mayim Bialick.

Oh yea. They film the TV show Power on my block about 3-4 times a year for the last 3 years. I don't know the show or who is in it.
I did take pictures of the cars they used.

Back in the late '80s they filmed a movie here in town called "Chattahoochee". Some people from the movie's production crew came into the first gun shop I worked at. They had a M1 Garand that they needed to have altered to cycle blanks and a model 10 Smith that they needed to have refinished to look brand new. They asked if they could bring in their "star" and have us walk him through how the Garand functioned. Their star turned out to be Gary Oldman, who none us had heard of at the time, as this was early in his career. I took him on the range and showed him how to load and shoulder the rifle. Being a Brit, I doubt he'd ever fired a gun. As he started firing off the blanks, a couple of the empties bounced off the wall and harmlessly hit him on the arms. He said "The bullets are hitting me! The bullets are hitting me!" I thought to myself, "This goober will never amount to anything." Of course a couple years later he was "Dracula" and became a household name... "Chattahoochee" didn't do much at the box office but it was cool to see the guns we worked on in the film and my handwriting on the price tag they requested for the S&W.

I've also met several rock stars that probably nobody here would know and some NFL players that have come into the gun shops I've worked in.

I partied with Hank Jr. and Kid Rock one time. I wasn't invited back and they said I drank too much and was a bad influence on them.

When I was living in Caribbean met a pile of em. The one that always sticks in my mind for some reason was Grizzly Adams. We were all at a tiki hut style hotel beach bar and he was wasted. Doing lines in the bathroom and drinking whisky like water. I remember him standing at the bar entrance, wavering and pissing in the sand right on the entrance way.
The best, who wasnt a celebrity but known to many of us campfire types, was Jack Brittingham. The nicest was Buffet. The craziest and happiest by far was Daniel Ortega.

I was in a local photography store browsing through the dark room chemicals, trying to decide what to develop my Kodak Tri-X in and bumped into Ansel Adams doing the same thing. He smiled and nodded at me. Seemed like a very nice guy.

I met Baxter Black and Don Collier through work. I saw Bruce Dern in a restaurant and waved and got a nod.
