I've had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with pro (or former pro in some cases) tennis players Martina Hingis (my favorite and when she was on top in 1997), Lindsay Davenport, Anke Huber and Amanda Coetzer, as well as my all-time favorite guitarist, the great Pete Townshend of The (incomparable) Who, as well as a host of famous military personalities no doubt fdamiliar to most people over the years (I retired in 1992 from the U.S. Army). I also had an appointment scheduled with Tiger Woods, but had to cancel due to a personal emergency, something I still regret today. And as a boy, the mother of my very best friend was Velma Barfield (then Burke), the first woman executed in the U.S. (1984, I believe) since 1962. What made that so memorable for me was that she killed people by poisoning their food, and she prepared many a good meal for me. I guess she liked me.
Have you ever met/known any of the people who make the news?
