Besides me no, there's no other famous people more important than me so who gives a **** about them.

I grew up on Long Island, New York in a village named Northport. Harry Chapin was friends with our next-door neighbor, and one night while I was playing at their house he came to dinner when I was about 12 years old. I also went to school with Billy Joel's then stepson, Sean Small and my sister had the same babysitter that Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley used, whose name was Dawn.

He's a singer too! Surely you've heard, "Holly Jolly Christmas"?
I've met in no particular order: Robert F. Kennedy, Sandy Baron, **** Clark, Harvey Keitel, Ed McMahon, Spike Lee, George Benson, Peter Brown, Sharon Stone, Al Sharpton, Cissy Houston, Susan Sarandon, Elliot Gould, **** Gregory, Ollie Woodson, Mark Gastineau, Ed Kranepool, Don Clendenon, Bobby Murcer, Lew Alcinder, Gilbert Gottfried, and David Patterson. I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of right now. Some I've held good conversations with while others I just shook their hand, smiled and made nice!

I met Gonzo from the Arizona Diamond backs world series champion team when I worked at burger king in the drive through. He only had 100$% bills and drove a hummer. I did not recognize him and told him we don't take 100's so he left and never mentioned who he was. When he was driving away I was like oh **** thats gonzo! The people behind him ran to his car and got a auto graph.

I've met quite a few assassins, exterminators, cleaners and hitmen, not to mention their support teams(recon squads, assault teams, etc.) They prefer to remain anonymous and invincible, so if you drag them out from the cold... you get a broken wrist for starters...

A few but I'm guessing at a convention doesn't count.

I used to be the Operations Manager for a major airline at SeaTac International Airport. Because of that, I met a slew of celebrities - pro athletes, movie stars, politicians, you name it. During my 20 years in the military I also met 3 U.S. President's and a number of high-ranking foreign politicians.
Didn't do me any good - I'm still broke...LOL.

A couple of years ago, at our company's Christmas party in Santa Fe, NM, I met and had drinks with Liam Neeson. Very cool guy. While I was in the Navy, during the filming of "the Hunt for Red October," Sean Connery joined us in our office for a couple of hours. Another cool guy.
Hey that's cool. I met George Benson at a party for Peter Brown. I also met Sandy Baron, Ed McMahon, Harvey Keitel, **** Gregory, Robert Kennedy, Tom Seaver, Ed Kranepool, Don Clendenon, Spike Lee, Sharon Stone, Cissy Houston, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Elliot Gould, **** Clark, Rosie Perez, and Christopher Meloni. I'm sure there's others but that's off the top of my head. I've seen famous people on the street but never got a chance to meet or talk to them.
