    Gary Busey! When? He is an awesome actor and not bad to look at, but recently he seems to have let himself go.

    Federal Senators
    Governors

    Secret Service
    Teachers

    Here ya' go:

    Grace, I am almost afraid to ask, but the meeting of the Secret Service, was it friendly or adversarial?

    It was friendly. Dear ole' dad worked in many positions for our government and it was a pleasure to be his daughter. Still is...don't want it to sound like he is dead. We entertained and met some great people and I learned so much.

    Don't know if you remember me talking about us being stationed at Ft. Bragg and we had a house of relatives visiting. I came in from playing and noticed that all the adults were watching troops getting onto planes heading to Vietnam and shaking hands with some big shot as they boarded. I looked at those men boarding the plane and noticed one I knew. I yelled out that I was just at his house and he was at home, what's going on! My dad grabbed me and had a very long discussion with me regarding the security of our troops and what we do just for the news, etc. From that moment on I was a part of his small circle because he had to make sure that I understood exactly what he did for a living and that I was to keep my mouth shut.

    Now, maybe everyone understands why I speak up so much today. I was not allowed to at a young age...think I'm going to call him and let him know why I am like I am now. He'll think it is a hoot.

    my turn

    Stephen Tyler (whatta NICE guy)
    Joe Perry (what a jerkoff)
    Sebastian Bach (what a spaz)
    Dave Skibo (really quiet)
    Rachel Bolan (great guy)

    ((these guys were in my town for a week practicing before kicking off a world tour while I was in high school, my friend worked for the marriot and recruited a few of us to be 'runners' to pick up the stuff that they requested - food and such.... The other guys in the bands (skid row and aerosmith) were assigned to a different team, so I had no real interaction with them....

    Carrot Top (LOVE that guy!!!)
    Jimmy Carter
    Hulk Hogan
    Tommy Rich

    I think that's it - or at least all that left an impression...

    You can join his Sunday School class any Sunday he is teaching. Here is his schedule. I have done that twice, and had my picture taken with him afterwards. He is a very spiritual Sunday School teacher.

    When I was 18 I met John Ritter he was very nice and personable. It was great because I made his family hand designed shirts.

    Leaving in a resort area there are many celebrities that you see. I have met Lionel Richie, and Nicole Sullivan from mad tv.

    From afar I have seen others but it is kind of a "local" rule to leave celebrities alone and let them enjoy themselves.
