Hey everyone
I got a question for y'all. Does anyone in their day to day work ever come across celebrities? Local celebs or national celebs?
I actually have surprisingly met quite a few.
I've met:
Mookie Wilson (he came to our house a few times too, my mom would run into him grocery shopping invited him to dinner a few times),
Darrell Strawberry (I remember our conversation, about NOT doing drugs
),
Keith Hernandez. I think that takes care of baseball
Bowling:
Mark Roth and Parker Bohn III.
Musicians:
Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen (I can spit to his stomping grounds, so no surprise there, and no I don't listen to his music)
Political:
Nancy and Ronald Reagan 
I love Reagan. A little background on that one. I was wayyy too young to vote, and I convinced my parents to vote for him, I pleaded my case, because I couldn't actually pull the lever myself. Well they did, and he won!! So as an Irish Dancer, we have a big (or at least used to be) competition (called a feis) and it was in D.C. The location was on the White House lawn. So my parents wrote the White House, and explained this whole fiasco of my infatuation with Ronald Reagan. After competition, my mother forced me to hang around, and I did. Well out comes this helicopter, and it lands, this is not uncommon it happened every year. Well this time out came the Reagans. No, not to meet me but to make an appearance. I was in awe. I got to chit chat with him. Can you see a 9 year old talking to Reagan about his trickle down economic theory? Well that was me, and our conversation.
Adding to this category
Doug Forrester, we shared a beer on campus. Interviewed him for a paper I was writing, he had already just made an appearance at the University.
I think that about covers it.
Double bleh....so wish me luck, or atleast wish me good magazines in the waiting area!)
I do hope it al went wel and you had a clean bill of health!
