I met William Conrad (Cannon) when I worked at a truck stop in High School. I met Patrick Wayne (John Wayne's Son) and Johnny Crawford (Mark McCain from the "Rifleman") at a dinner theater. I met Glen Campbell and Louise Mandrel in Branson Mo. I actually shook hands and talked to each one of them. I have met and talked to T. Boone Pickens numerous times. Oh and I'm good friends with Norman.......................

Captain Penny when I was 6.
Captain Penny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He also used to hold up a sign, that said "MOM" and say "This spells "mom" and when you turn her upside down, it says "WOW"...I don't think anyone really caught on....at least right away.

I met and briefly talked with Paul Tibbets (the man who flew the Enola Gay to drop the first A-Bomb).

My father in law. He's a Vietnam vet who lost his use of his right leg when he was shot while piloting a Cobra gunship. He just retired from the military since serving for a little over 35 years on active duty. He still serves by treating veterans returning from Iraq/Afganistan as a civilian physician.

Anyone who serves our country in war is famous and a hero to me.

I've met Chuck Yeager around airports and at the UNI below where I live when he
started the Yeager scholorships. Met Billy Ray Cyrus thru a much younger musician friend
of mine who lived near his place. And I once met Larry Flynt of Hustler when I was in
Cincinnati. All these guys are rather local. (grew up within 100 miles of me) They come
thru here from time to time.

When I was traveling thru Georgia I swang by Plains so my Grandmother could meet Jimmy
Carter. It's a lovely part of Georgia there where he lives.
