Micheal Jordan is definite greatness.

I met and worked with Cal Ripken Jr. too for a day on a bodyguard gig. That same night I bumped into Dustin Hoffman, Whoopi Goldberg, Pierce Brosnan, and saw Nick Nolte, Michael Moore and a few TV celebs. These people are a lot smaller in person except for Michael Moore who is really fat.

Mick Foley lives in my home town, and I have served him at both McDonalds and at the bank I work at now. Other than that I also am a cool person loser.

Frank Perdue was my dad's boss and I went to school and am friends with his grandkids so we were pretty friendly. I went to his funeral.

As far as "real" celebrities, I have met David Letterman, Cal Ripken Jr., many current and former Ravens players, Alan Dershowitz and Nelson Mandela.

I learned how to Snowboard on Frank Perdue's front lawn in Watch Hill.

Mikhail Gorbachev, George H. W. Bush, Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, Mike Modano, Brett Hull, and Lee Trevino probably all qualify as greatness.

More minor celebrities: many Dallas Stars, Kenny Rogers (the pitcher, not The Gambler), Tony Casillas, Jason Sehorn, Kirk Herbstreit, Chris Fowler, Darrin Erstad, Lee Janzen, and surely some others I can't remember. I worked at an extremely high-end golf course for about a year and a half, so nearly all of these encounters happened there.

No I barely recognized her. She was dressed in sweats and had a tongue ring.

Talked with Thurman Thomas (was very short) Andre Reed (insanely built) Bruce Smith (didnt think he was so big, but I'm an egomaniac) this was back in 1996 ish after.

Played 1 year (freshman) Div III football with R-Kal Truluck who was a 30yr old rookie with KC then played 2 years w/ GB as speed rusher.

Worked security for both Howie Mandel and They Might Be Giants while going to college, briefly met them both
