i have met several back in the days when I was a baker and worked at Nordstroms in the mall. A few of them are Arnold Schwartzenegger, Lonnie Anderson, Donnie Osmond, Bruce willis, and some others.
After I left baking and became a mechanic I met more of the sports stars such as Nord the Barbarian, a few other wrestlers, and my favorite famous person of all that I met has to be Pete Lopresti an oldtime Northstars goalie. I worked with Pete and he is the nicest guy anyone could meet. I would also like to meet Kent Herbek.

I met Tom Petty in a Holiday Inn, in Chicago.

When I was in high school I worked for Sims Security and one of the events I worked was the NBA All Star Weekend. Now I didn't "meet" everyone but I was in the same room and rubbed shoulders with a lot of peole. Anywhere from Will Smith to Charles Barkely, Scottie Pippen, and the list goes on. I met a lot when I worked at a coat check in the Radison for a special dinner and ceremony that they all attended. It was pretty cool for a high school kid. I met Steve Erkel.....can't remember his real name. I have also met lots of twins.....I think Kent Hrbek was an A**H***. When I was about 10 my dad took us to the dome to wait outside where the twins exited. It was me and about 3 other kids. I was standing alone and Hrbek walked right by me and I asked for his autograph...all he said was "Merry X-mas kid" and kept walking. It was summertime...and he said it with an attitude and hurt my feelings.

I have more but need a break.

President Gerald Ford:

This was back when I was in the food service industry . After he was done dining I was instructed to ask him if he would like some ice cream. He replied yes, so the Secret Service :detective: followed me back to the kitchen and then back to the table. So, I didn't get a chance to shoot the breeze about fishing with him. sad3.gif

I heard his favorite desert was vanilla ice cream with a little bit of black pepper finely ground on top I tried it after I heard that and it wasn't bad but I've never had seconds. Is that what he ordered?
