Met and talked to yogi Berra, I had no idea who he was but he was at our local high-school football game my dad said go talk to him and get his auto graph, I got his auto graph on the paper with the players name on it. I was young he asked if I played any sports and baseball talk began. By the end I still didn't really know who he was but I figured out he knew baseball lol.. came home and looked through my cards and I had a few of his.

Super nice guys. I had to tell the wife that one though.

Very cool

Met and shook hands with Robert F Kennedy and got his autograph, in the 60’s. He came to Rome , NY and was campaigning for my uncle who ran for state senate, among other local democrats. My uncle lost but became, a Reagan Democrat.

Nope, truth.
However, I could give 2 craps about being friends with anyone " famous".
Long as they are humble/ down to earth, not bragging about thier fame/ fortune I'll treat them like anyone else.
Ain't a single person special in my eyes.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

Met GW Bush while elk hunting in Utah in 2012. He was hunting on Hunt Oil’s property, bordering where we were hunting. We were coming off the mountain, and came up on his SUV going up the hill. My guide and Bush’s guide were friends, and stopped to compare elk hunting notes. He’s a lot shorter than I would have guessed.

Me and some coworkers hung out with Pete Rose at a company managers meeting.

Not famous here but met one on one with Dr Tony Ryan and did some cabinet work for him. He was a famous Irish billionaire businessman and owned a horse farm in Lexington.

Medalark Lenen and Curley kneel when I was about 6.

Clark Kellogg. Met him in the Buckeye locker room after they beat the Iowa Hawkeyes. About 1981?

Did a bunch of work for a playboy model. She built a house here and the builder would say she is coming to town this week so the trades would show up to get a glimpse. She never showed.

I don't watch Tv or go to movies if someone famous would walk by me, I wouldn't recognize them anyway. People talk about this famous person and that one I have no clue who most are.

I never met anyone famous that I know of.

Outside of rodeo stars (8 time world clamps & my boy hangs out with the son of a man with 6) I've met a few celebs and sports stars. Karl Malone & Toby Keith (RIP) were cool cats and would visit with a guy and even ask him questions like you do a new acquaintance. Rick Perry wants to know about any trophy buckle I wear to a church function.

Admittedly I think the 3 I mentioned wanted to know more about the broncs and the bulls than they did about myself LOL

I met Jim Carrey and the Baldwin brothers at a party in Connecticut. Alec got angry that I was off talking to a woman he thought belonged to him. I've sold Mike Tyson pigeons and talked to him a few times for a couple of hours. Bone Crusher used to stay over at my house, when we were kids, during the Summer and write me letters during the school year, because his family was to poor to let him make long distance calls. Pete Rose's son Pete Junior was on my first soccer team and I met Pete and Johnny Bench, who went to our games. The Iran Sheik used to go to Iranian picnics we went to in Cincinnati. The Iron Sheik's daughter is my age and we would play together. The Sheik would make a muscle pose and we would hang off of his arms.

For years I did discounted guide rates for the surrounding county fairs by me. A lot of the money taken in supports FFA and 4H. So it was a way to give back. A lot of acts went out for just 2 or 3 hours as time to relax and chill before a show.
Through a lot of pro staff obligations, I flew all over the country for grand openings of Cabela’s, Bass Pro, Reddings, sportsmen warehouse, and so on. Some “celebrities “ just rushed in/out like they were someone important. Most would hang out in the employees break room between autographs and just be down to earth good people.

For the decade I worked as a manufacturer rep in spring/fall goods, had a few I worked with. I still carry the pocket knife Zach Brown gave me. Met just about everyone you see on the Discovery Channel reality shows at SHOT Show. They are a big draw. Dave Turin and Freddy from gold rush are awesome people. Hoffmann…well worse in person.

The absolute worst experience was the kids from Duck Dynasty. If Phil would have seem Willie and Jason pushing and cussing at people in the isles at Shot Show, he would kicked both those boys in the sack.

My absolute favorite is Ted Nugent. He lied in a video about using an optic on his bow and I asked him about it at the Milwaukee Sports show. Saw it in an editing glitch. We played it back in slow motion and you could see it. He went absolutely nuts and wanted me thrown out. Years later, I guided him on a local lake. I couldn’t resist and brought it up. I enjoyed the entertainment value of it


The only thing worse than losing........Is QUITTING!

In September of 2016 I helped Congressman Don Young unload a lawnmower out of an airplane and into the back of his 1980 something pickup truck.
This was in Fort Yukon, we had a good conversation about the upcoming election.
