My five close encounters: Lisa Murkowski James Carville Tom Brokaw S*&@^#r Davis (musician) Newt Gingrich I'll guess Lisa Murkowski Nope! The correct answer is Tom Brokaw. I was at some kind of holiday reception in Anchorage where there were a lot of Local politicians, including Lisa. I didn’t meet her but at one point we were standing back to back inches apart. James Carville was a few rows ahead of me on a flight from Seattle to DC, and we briefly chatted in the jetway (much to the consternation his bodyguard). James was very nice. Ran across the S*&@^#r Davis group having a photo session in London in 1967. Also very nice. And walked past Gingrich doing an interview or something on the steps of the Capitol Bldg in DC. I definitely didn’t want to speak with him.

Deb5anne,
Since you’re from Michigan, I’d guess you’ve met the hockey players Yzerman and Larionov, Dombrowski, so I guess Bob Sefer is the one you haven’t met.

Wildarose, you’re correct. I’m old too. I met his father George Romney back in the day while volunteering. I also worked on Phil Hart’s (senate office building is named for him) campaign. Now I’m name dropping. Sen Debbie Stabenow went to the same School of Social Work I did ( Michigan State) and I got to interview her a couple of times and sat beside her at a fashion show.
Joan Jett in a Vegas elevator on one trip to see Adam.
Studs Turkel ( Chicago bon vivant and writer) in an elevator complete with his $&*( cigar.
Tina Turner at the Cleveland Airport—both of us waiting for a puddle jumper flight to Detroit ( if you can call Lake Erie a puddle!). She actually had a tiny dog with her, but Iremember most the gorgeous burgundy pant suit she had on, complete with her initials embroidered on the hem—all you youngsters, that was a fashion thing back in the 70’s. She had a roped off area around her at the gate, but I said hi anyway and expressed my admiration, and I got a head nod. (Now I know ADAMROCKS), I think of you each time I think of her.
