Have met Alex Anderson and she actually sat down to eat lunch with us in Nashville one year. Met Eleanor Burns and don't know if she was stressed or what but she was not as friendly as I thought she would be. Have also met Karen Stone and Karen Combs as well as Caryl Breyer Fallert and they are wonderful.
As to TV or other stars, when I was younger, Lorne Green, Dan Blocker and Michael Landon came to town to participate in a telethon and I have an autographed picture of Michael Landon. Couldn't get to Dan Blocker which was sad because he was my favorite from the show Bonanza - guess you know my age now!
