My dad met Bill Dance at a truck stop and they talked perch fishing for a few hours until my dad had to go. Bill took off his hat and autographed it for him. That was around 1988.

Every player for the Redskins in the 80s and 90s (my aunt was in charge of their housing/local relations for training camp).  My grandfather coached Sid Bream in Little League with Sid Bream so I've hung out with him a lot (his family still lives in the area).  Also a bunch of random soccer and hockey players.  Oh also Mario and Michael Andretti.  I dated a girl who's father was best friends with Mario so we were together a lot at races (in the pits) and at picnics.  Italian picnics are so different from where I grew-up.

Sylvester Stallone at High school I think it was '78 or '79, he was filming one of the Rocky's. I was either a freshman or sophmore.

They had a limo at one end of the school as a decoy as he was leaving the school at the other end, we got wind of it and I got to shake his hand as he was getting into the limo, he got the crowd pretty fired up.

Funny Note, The principle at the Time of his visit was either the dean of men or the principle when he went to school there, and he ate his words on stage (Addressing the seniors) retracting his comment  "of Least Likely to Succeed" all in jest of course. what a day I cut all my classes that day but was still at school the entire day, we were running around like crazy people..well that's how I remembered it anyway.

Arnold Palmer. The absolute definition of a mans man. I worked at a country club in high school. Palmer was there for a pro am. I was picking the driving range and was almost finished when I noticed someone hitting balls. I was ticked off because the range was closed and started driving the picker towards the tee to run the man off my damn range! As I got closer I realized it was Arnold Palmer and my rage faded away. I got out of the cart, introduced myself and proceeded to watch him hit balls. He asked me if it was ok for him to be out there and of course I said yes. The man was so nice, he talked to me like I was his best friend, not a bit of arrogance. It was a great experience.
