brushes with greatness.
i made Hank Williams Jr. show me his drivers license once,, to be fair he was driving a Dodge Mirada rental car.
I (my hygienist) cleaned Hank Williams Jr.'s teeth once. He was doing a show on Panama City Beach. I had a practice in Panama City. He's a nice guy.

I sat in the cockpit of an F4U-4 Corsair called Blue Max .
I also sat in a little Biplane racer that was just a racer then called Sorcereress . It lives in the Smithsonian now .

i got to meet Neil Armstrong once.
he was on the board of directors for EDO when i worked there.
they come in late to tour the facility to not have a bunch of attention from all the daytime workers.
i was doing the calculations by hand for the next batch of oxidized lead mix to be spray dried, at my standup desk, when he walked up and asked what i was doing.
i was like 'math.. duh' then turned around to a small entourage of suits.... doh!
ended up showing him around our portion of the plant explaining the process and what components we used.

Me, Not much to write home about....... However my Wife Karen, Once rode down in an elevator in an Atlantic Casino with only Donald Trump and they had a conversation! When they got to the 1st floor. he bought her a Cocktail at the bar but he did not stay!
Also my wife is an avid Tennis player and for her 50 Birthday, I bought her a trip to the Miami Open, One morning she got down to the hotel restaurant for breakfast and was sitting at a table alone and Kim Klisters and another female Tennis celebrity were sitting across from her and asked her to join them! Even paid for her breakfast! Later that day Kim won the Title of the women's tennis final! So She was so excited

I have a photo of 11 year old Jon shaking hands with Hubert Humphrey at a 4th of July celebration in 1976.
.
I do not have a photo of myself in line to see Al Franken, didn't get to shake his hand or talk to him, just as I got to the front of his booth at the MN State Fair, the guy in front of me got into a Heated, loud verbal argument with the Senator about Union issues with the Radio Station Franken owns ...security got involved and Al quickly exited stage right.

No trouble getting to the CBA site, but get an error message when trying to view Match Results. It has been that way for at least a couple of days I think.

A friend of mine and I from eastern Washington state can't get on for several days now. I wonder if CBA web folks know that there is a problem?
