Fun idea:

Mid 70's:
Met Archie Manning - then QB for the New Orleans Saints - who's family lived 5 blocks from me.
Met Angelo Dundee (Mohammed Ali's manager/promoter) in an airport lounge
Had a Coke with Walter Cronkite on Martha's Vineyard (others had cocktails)

Early 80's:
Met Manute Bol, who was working out with a trainer at my high school gym.
Coached Cooper, Peyton, and Eli Manning at various local kids sports camps (yes, I can take huge credit for their athletic prowess haha)

Later 80's:
Met Mike Mills of REM twice - once on Mud Island in Memphis and also in New Orleans
Flirted really unsuccessfully with ESPN commentator Erin Andrews.

Early 90's to mid 90's:
Cheered the Manning boys in football
Met Ashley Judd (pal of a UK pal) at a party.
Hung out at Kingsway studios with Dan Lanois (Canadian music producer), and via him was introduced to Sarah McLachlan
Met but did not dare flirt with then supermodel Helena Christianson in Harbour Island, Bahamas
Peyton Manning starts to become a big big deal...Eli, not yet.

Later 90's to date:
Brother in Law TJ Miller voices part of "How to Train your Dragon" so we get to attend the VIP tent of the premier and meet Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, America Ferrara, and Jeffery Katzenberg.

Most recently: Invited to Broncos training camp VIP tent with my sons by now QB Peyton Manning.
