Richard and Pat Nixon both shook my hand in '68.

A few years later, I worked for a fellow Named Del Webb in Phoenix AZ. While in his employ, I met Gerald Ford, Nelson Rockefeller, Barry Goldwater, many of the NY Yankee's baseball team of the day.

My maternal grandparents were close friends with Conrad Hilton (the first) and he did visit from time to time. Of course, I'd be remiss not to mention that my other set of grandparents entertained none other than Elmer Keith in their north Idaho home from time to time. I didn't even know he was a big deal in those days :-)

I won't even try to recall all of the famous musicians and entertainers we've met backstage - my better half is a aficionado of live entertainment, so if they are famous, well, we've met 'em!
