Brush with greatness
The Obama in Baltimore thread made me think - have you met/been close to anyone famous?
My elementary school was dedicated by Betty Ford. I was chosen to speak - "I am somebody!" - and give her an eagle necklace. She was very nice, very drugged, and my brother who was in kindergarten got to play George Washington in the "play" we presented. My mother eluded the Secret Service (!!) and was able to see us.
I was also on "Jeopardy!" and "Win Ben Stein's Money". Alex is a jerk, and I LOVE Ben Stein.
What's your story?
