You might not know these people, but back in 1992, I met Dick Gregory and in 1995, I met and took photos with Hosea Williams.

These men are/were both Civil Rights Activists/Icons. Hosea Williams was Martin Luther Kings Jr.'s right hand man. He was standing right beside him(MLK) on the balcony of the Lorraine Hotel where he was assassinated. Hosea Williams also started the Feed the Homeless mission that is still carrying on its tradition after his death.

Dick Gregory attended church services at the church I used to worship at in Atl., Ga. He was famous for starting a filing and winning a lawsuit with AT&T some years ago.

I actually jammed with Offspring back when their first video had just come out and they weren't really famous. I met the singer from Type-O-Negative too, and he is way taller than he looks!

I also met Joe Lieberman when he came to our town, since I worked at Town Hall at the time. He was kind of a snot. I met Chris Dodd (the other CT Senator) and he was way cooler.

I also briefly spoke to Minute Bol at the Mohegan Sun Casino (former NBA guy and freakishly tall- 8'1 or something ridiculous like that). Tallest guy I ever met!

And my financial consultant was playing golf with Dr J once and he let me say hi to him on the phone, which I guess kinda counts.

And I had classes with a lot of UConn basketball players like Rip Hamilton and El Amin, and have spoken with them on occasion.

That's it for me. :)

I have met about 10 famous people.The most interesting person was Richard Greico.I met him in Toronto 9 years ago at the Eaton Center.He invited me and my 2 friends back to his hotel room and we were excited because we were teenagers that weren't old enough to buy booze and we thought he wanted to hang out and party.Turns out he had mistaken us for high class hookers.He offered us 500 dollars each to have a threesome.Of course we said no and he was embarassed so he insisted we stay for awhile.We ended up drinking and my one friend ended upui having sex with him for free.

I met a whole bunch of famous hockey players from the NHL at this hockey camp I went to.
Wayne Gretzky, Jeremy Roenick, Brett Hull, Chris Chelios, Ed Belfore and a bunch of others, too. It was awsome.

No lie. I was working the front desk at a Federal Correctional Institution in the 80's and James Caan came in to visit with some inmates! He's really short!
