I have a few very famous folks for my clients that I have painted their cars and bikes for through the years and still do. But there is one person in particular I am very close friends with will tell you that I lay the prettiest set of flames he has ever seen. And anytime he wants a flame job it ends up in my garage. You have probably seen several of my paint jobs on TV and never even knew I did them.

How could I forget - I must add that last fall I met several golfers on the PGA tour in Chicago. I got my picture taken with Ernie Els & Stewart Cink - both very nice. Mr. Cink & I talked about Montana for about 10 minutes. Phil Mickelson was also very nice, but couldn't visit because there were so many people wanting autographs.

Sorry, but I had to log in on my hubby's acct here to join in this one! Let's see, met The Osmondsduring their 1971 tour ,1st one as "rockers"; Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods ("Billy Don't Be a Hero" , even had a wedding shower at their home when Bo's sis married MyFave bandmate!); Barry Williams, Joanne Worley while volunteering for MD telethon; Kent McCord and his Adam-12 partner; Rick Springfield; Kenny Loggins, when he was young and yummy; football Hall of Famer Joe Theisman; basketball Hall of Famer Connie Hawkins; baseball Hall of Famer Joe Garragiola (sat in front of him at several Phx Suns games); Ed Asner;Tom Chapin; Ohio State Coach Woody Hayes; celebrity bike builder Billy Lane, who comes across on TV as an a**, but was very kind in person; and Mr. Charley Pride, who is part owner of the Texas Rangers and follows them for Spring Training here in the Valley. He is a frequent visitor to my former place of employment and he and Mrs Pride were always very nice.
But my all time favorite is the late, great Harry Chapin! I was fortunate to attend several of his concerts in the '70's and he would ALWAYS meet and take pictures with every single person who wanted to after his shows. A fantastic performer who knew how to appreciate the people who put him there!

I went to Dharmsala, India and met with the Dalai Lama! I was THRILLED and if I were technologically savvy, I'd include my picture to show me smiling to beat the band because I touched his hands and he took the picture with his arm around my shoulder! Such a man of PEACE.

Back in the sixties I had a friend whose mother worked for president JFK. So I was lucky enough to meet him in the white house several times. He was so kind and gentle.
Those were the good ole days! Days when we could leave our cars unlocked and our doors open at night and nothing bad would happen to us.

when I was a police officer many moons ago had the great honour of meeting The Queen Mother she was so lovely and very chatty - it was a very hot day and we were in full dress uniform so asked me if I was hot (we had been told by our senior officer if she asked we were to say no) well I was always a bit of a rebel so I said yes, extremely, so she turned to our commanding officer and told him to let us take our jackets off
