    I have met presidents and senators, tv and movie stars, singers, billionaires, and too many of the artsy types but my favorite person of all I've met is Eleanor Burns.

    Ohh! I gotta name drop!
    I have met Meryl Haggard, Gary Burgoff (Radar from Mash) and Sarah Jessica Parker. I met them at different times, and not a one of them I'd like to talk to again.

    A handful of country music stars, but as I'm not a country music fan, it wasn't exciting for me and I can't remember their names. (I know, I'm horrible) Ricky Skaggs is the only one I can remember the name of.

    I've met Ricky Nelson's twin sons Matthew and Gunnar a couple of times. Really nice guys!

    Last year I met Fergie Jenkins.

    I don't know if anyone watches Supernatural, but I've met many of the stars and guest stars from the show via the Supernatural Conventions. I won't bore you with listing them all unless someone has an interest in knowing. A couple of them actually chat online with me since we met.

    There are more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

    I collect autographs (have done since the mid 80's) and I've met a ton of celebs.
    I loved meeting and chatting with:
    Luciano Pavarotti - he complimented my Italian. :)
    Bruce Springsteen - I am a Jersey girl..
    Buzz Aldrin - he's a really interesting man
    Mary Higgins Clarke - she's inspired me to be an author!

    There's quite a few others, but those are my top 4.

    When I was a very young 4Her the Lone Ranger(Clayton Moore) Tonto (Jay Silverheels) Silver & Paint were at the Lenawee County fair In Michigan and I was chosen out of the crowd to have my picture taken with them! I was delirious with excitement. The nicest person I've met as an adult is Ben Zobrist the in/outfielder for the Tampa Bay Rays. Both he and his wife have done chapel programs at our school and he is a tremendous leader for the young people in our area. They are both very real, unassuming people. Congressman Bill Young is very nice and treats everyone with respect and kindness. Even those who get in his face about political issues (his security guys aren't thrilled though...).

    I volunteered at Snake River Ranger Station in Yellowstone for 7 summers after DH retired. Robert Wagner came in for a fishing permit, which I sold him. We talked about the Park for a few minutes, then shook hands. Also Barbara Walters came by and rested a while in the office while we found a guide for her. She's very tiny and quite nice.
