I have met so many interesting people that it is hard to pick just one. I can tell you about some interesting people that I have actually met in life.
Andrea the Giant, he was at a wrestling match at a small school and I was not into wrestling then, but my sister was. She said he was mean, LOL so I said well he is just putting on a show and he is not really mean. Then I said well I will ask him for a hug, and she dared me. I walked up to him and asked him for a hug and he hugged me so hard that he popped my back, but it did not hurt.
Tiny Tim, he was at a circus at a small town and I walked up to him and told him I wrote poetry would he like to read some of it? I had a message that I wanted to get out even back then so it was a cool way to maybe get some big name or in my thoughts it was. He invited me to bring it to his motel room, but I never did, LOL
Al Gore, he was at a small town and I was lucky to get in, but I did and this girl had a camera and wanted a picture of him and her little boy and I had no film in my camera left. I said to her well if you will get a picture of me and my little boy with him then I will ask him. She said she would not take the picture, but I jumped up and asked him any ways and in fact talked to him face to face for several minutes. The White House staff photographer took some pictures of us and tapped me on the shoulder and gave me a card to get them. So I imagine they might be in the White House some place? What struck me most about him was how down to Earth he really is. I was hoping that he would have gotten it as the President.
Joe Duncan he is a slave descendant, but he dropped out of school in 6th grade and started his own business and now owns a part of a town and his four children all have really good jobs and lots of bucks.
Kelda Stringer, she was put in a mental institution as a young woman and when she got out she knew that the only way that she could stay out was to get a job and she became the newspaper lady and every one loved her, but that was because she was a woman full of love. She loved every body. When she passed away she never had married and ended up dividing the proceeds from her estate with both of the school systems in the town she lived in.
The can man, he was cool he had a shopping cart and walked around town picking up cans for money to survive on.
My mom and dad , Paul and Irene Lee, were cool, my dad was a WWII purple heart vet and he was so cool, psychiatrist told him that he would never amount to any thing when he used that as an excuse to get out of his second term because he did not like the guy that was in charge. He operated the skivvy boats. He was a machine builder and tool and die maker and leader for his shop. He bought the land I have now when he retired and raised 4 kids and took care of his wife till death did them part. When he was 12 years old he took off and hitchhiked around the country and after two of us had college degrees after his retirement he went back to school to get an associates degree and he wrote some of the best poetry. He was a moonshiner and even got busted for that as a young man before he met my mom. He wouldn't give me the recipe he said I could find all the information that I needed for it on here, but I would get myself in trouble with it. He knew me well didn't he? LOL
Norma Cole who is a published writer, but is deceased now. She was a nice woman and she had a writers group going which I was a part of for a while.
Mickey Weinberg, Jim Gottstein, and Vince Boehm are also all good people and have educated me so much.
I guess I would have to end with myself? I know that there are so many more wonderful people that I have met in this life, but I can't name them all and I count this as one of my many ways that I have really been blessed in this life. Oh and my kids, they are great. So what else can I say?

Jeannie C. Riley, the girl who sang Harper Valley PTA. I met her at the record section of a store in Cleveland, Ohio where she was
holding up her own Album cover that opened up to show her in a
sequined mini-skirt and asked me if I liked that. I thought the girl
was kind of weird and then a few minutes later they announced over the intercom that Jeannie C. Riley was at the front office to
sign autographs. Wow! I Love Jeannie C. Riley and it seemed
a weird coincidence that that girl in the record department showed me the Album. So I hurried up to the front office and she
was the same girl that showed me the Album cover but I didn't recognize her because her hair was just hanging down and she had on blue jeans and a sweatshirt. Boy did I blow it. I was so
embarrassed I didn't even go up to say Hi or get her autograph. I
had my chance and I blew it big-time.

My boyfren. I've gotta know him since last year. B4 i met him, i was a typical teenage girl who love talking about cute guys, celebrities like "oh who's hot", n who's got the hottest body (guy).
So i met this guy who is one year older than i am. He wasn't really cute, i didn't know how he looks like at first, coz i got to know him thru the internet. Later v meet up n i find that he's really interesting. Yep, he's my schoolmate. He's a really great guy, i feel like it's the first time i'm truly falling in love, coz, he's not that cute, not the ideal guy of my dream, but, hey, i still like him, it's like a magnet pulling me to him....He made me understand true love. LoL..i'm crapping alot now...
so, he's the most interesting person i've ever met n be with :)

Just like MEN say the most interesting person they met are the person whom they chase... right? the challenge!!! for women well it's the same thing a person who does not give up on us at first He was like that (i just don't know what went wrong... though i somehow understand it now)... and He's quite mysterious personality.

A person Ive know for a little while. Before I knew him I had an opinion of what he was like, but when I got to know him he was totally different... I think he can probably do anything, I never know what hes going to say next, I get him and he gets me.... Hes just cool, that's probably the best way to describe him...

My daughter. She is 7 years old now and she continues to fascinate, amuse and amaze me every day.
She is without a doubt my most interesting person i know and the way she changes and develops is just beyond my reckoning. I adore the way her brain can just absorb new stuff and experiences and her questions about what she has seen or done is what makes her interesting to me.

A man called Dave Jones back in 1982. He was a roadie years before for Ian Dury. He had so many tales to tell and been to so many places. I could listen to him for hours. Wish I'd kept in touch, i think of him many times.

My godfather. He was a great musician and an insperation for many people in his life. He was a humble man that always offered to the less advantaged and knew how to forgive.
He died young and still had so much to offer.
