Johnny Kelly lived in my apartment building for years...it was so sad/ funny when all the young teenaged boys found out and started wanting to hang around our steps with my DD...she didn't realize they were hoping to meet him (a drummer from a heavy metal band, Type O Negative) |
Through my daughter....I have met with Ed Asner a few times.

I met Jesse Stuart, the great Kentucky poet Laurete. Actually, he was from the same county in Kentucky where I was born. My brother used to go to his house all the time... Jesses neice was in my brother classes in high school. He was just a delightful common down home kind of gentleman. He has written many books and poems.

I have a few famous folks for clients and have painted several cars for them. And being around the show car crowd I have met and made good friends with a lot of the big time builders and car guys.
