He extended his arm, I stood and took his hand and he spun me around and 'dipped' me!!!" I later found out that Richard Gere actually shopped at that Costco often on his way out to his house in the Hamptons (eastern Long Island) I died a little bit that day!!

WOW...was it the Holbrook Costco? That's my hangout of Costcos here...what a neat story! Thanks for sharing!

My daughter & her friend met Mike Love of Beach Boys fame in the elevator at our hotel. Both girls wore braces & he asked them about it. Seems his daughter was getting braces soon. We were in Springfield for the State Fair and to see the Beach Boys in concert.

I just read in the paper that Bob Seger is going on tour again. I wonder if he will be with the original Silver Bullet Band.
