Have you ever known anybody who was even a little famous? I used to work with a guy who had been a third-string local TV weatherman! (And I've been within 10 or 15 meters of three first-string local TV weathermen, one of them twice!)

Can't think of any I really know well. I've met Robert Picardo (Star Trek Voyager, Stargate Atlantis, others), sat down and got to talk to him for a while (half hour or so) and got my picture taken with him. I met Don Cheadle (Ocean's 11, too many other movies to name) very briefly once. I was watching the filming of Swordfish with John Travolta. Don came across the street and shook hands with several fans. Seemed like a real nice guy to me, even as brief as it was, because it's not like he had to do that.

I worked with horses, which means I've worked in close contact with some pretty wealthy people who were household names. None of them would remember me though. For most of them I was the little serf delivering their horse or someone else's horse tacked up and ready to go. There is a lot of truth that a man's character can be measured by how they treat the powerless. There are more than a few wealthy people and politicians whom I feel are of very low character because of the way they treated me, treated my coworkers or treated their animals. There are a few gems that I treasure because they went out of their way to be kind to me, even though I was on the bottom of the totem pole.

Yes. We happened to live in an area that was full of famous people.
