Have you ever met anyone famous? If so, tell your story. Whether on purpose or accidental meetings.

I met Ashley and Winona Judd once. I worked at a facility on the airport field when I lived in Texas. We did all the private and military flights, fueled and de-iced (yes, I said de-ice, lol)I was a customer service rep and was working second shift one night. A late flight came in and it was snowing, I was on the phone with my now ex-husband. A girl walked in from the ramp and said "Wow, how often does this happen here?" I kinda laughed and told her it was the second time that winter. In walks another woman with a little dog and my boss happened to be there that night. I looked at him and said "she looks like Winona" and he said "It is Winona". They were really sweet and gave me their autographs before I left for the night. Dwight Yokam was in once, but I was in a meeting. Can't say I'm sorry about that. lol

Oh, and I met David Copperfield when I was about 7. We went to see him perform at the state fair and waited in line for what seemed like hours for an autograph. He was way cool.

i was able to bump into former miss philippines and miss universe contestant charlene gonzales in a pedestrian lane...i was only able to glance at her for a moment because there was so much movement and there was a huge crowd trying to cross the street..she is really beautiful and it seemed that she is also nice because a lady beside me was able to say "hi charlene" and she smiled back at the lady..

I have met a couple people actually. I met Dale Jarrett at a NASCAR race as he was trying to leave. He was in his expedition driving down the same road that everyone else was and he was stopped and signing autographs for some people. He was really nice and didnt seem to mind doing it. Then I met Alice Cooper and Ryan Roxie backstage at a concert. Before the concert started Ryan came down off the stage to speak to the girl I was with and myself. He was really cool and incredibly friendly. Half way through the concert during the intermission Alice Cooper's tour manager came to speak to us and asked if we'd like to go backstage. She already had backstage passes for her and her little brother that she had won off the radio so with these passes her mother and I got to go as well. Alice was nice but Ryan Roxie was definitely my favorite. He even called me his girl!

I've met alot of the athletes here at school at the University of Michigan. Most of them aren't really well known outside of the area but some of the bigger name guys are going to be playing professionaly. Some of the notable guys would be LaMarr Woodley, Leon Hall, Mike Hart, and Chad Henne from the football team and Jack Johnson from the hockey team. Also, my best friend's grandparents live next to Matt Mantei (former closer for the Arizona Diamondbacks). He's a really nice guy.

I suppose I should have told of the famous people I've met. I work on the Warbirds Flightline at EAA Airventure in Oshkosh WI. I met Jack Roush a 8 years ago and I see him there every year. I wouldn't say we are friends, but we do talk every year. Last year he brought Matt Kenseth and Kyle Edwards to the airshow. I also met Harrison Ford there.

I once met Larry Zonka who played for the Miami Dolphins and I also met Jamison Parker who use to play on the TV show Simon and Simon! I met Tuff Hedemen and Ted Nuce who are both professional bull riders in 96 at the Western wear store I worked at! I also met Michal Martin Murphy who is a country singer in 1995 while working at the western wear store!
