What's your claim to fame?

My son, who works at The Shack here in Honolulu, got to know all the captains of "Deadliest Catch" while they were here 2 weeks ago filming "After The Catch" for their season-ender. I got to meet and spend several hours with Scatman Crothers when he was in Boise filming Bronco Billy with Clint Eastwood. Met Clint Eastwood while skiing in Sun Valley, Idaho. I got to play an authentic Stradivarius violin owned by a visiting professional violinist while I was in high school.

I was on Romper Room. Many many years ago.
My husband and I met with Gerald McRainey a few years back at a political rally. What a nice man he is. It was kind of weird, my husband and him had on the same outfit. LOL.

WOW! A Stradivarius? My best friend in high school was a violinist. We went to DC with Close Up, and we HAD to see the Stradivarius. Unfortunately, our timing was wrong, so she wasn't able to hear it being played. She would be so jealous....

Clint Eastwood, Cecily Tysen, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, and Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay cosmetics. They were all at a dinner event in LA in the early 70's honoring students who excelled. The company that my husband worked sponsered the event. Got Clint's autograph. But the most interesting thing was the juxtapostion of Mary Kay in all her glamor, big hair, makeup and jewels sitting next to Elizabeth KR in her cotton dress and berkenstock shoes, not a lick of makeup, no jewlery and unkept hair.

I once waited on Cindy Crawford's family when she had first been signed to her modeling contract. I attended high school with David Hasselhoff's younger sister, Jean and knew his dad - actually went out in their boat a few times. Can't stand the Hoff now, but sure liked him when he was Snapper on the Young and the Restless.
