No pic's, but:
met Alice Cooper backstage in Philly;
met Bobby Rahal, Mario Andretti, David Letterman and Walter Payton at Mid-Ohio;
met Joe Theismann (rhymes with Heismann) at a benefits dinner.
That's about it... I met a bum once on the streets of Toronto, and we enjoyed a beer. That was probably more fun than the famous folk!

Met Ralph Macchio (under bad circumstances) at my cousin's funeral back when I was a teenager. His girlfriend and my Aunt both worked together, so he came along to pay his respects, which was something I never forgot.
Also met the NY Islander team from the late 70's, and even shook hands with Chico Resch (their goalie)

A girl that lived across the hall in my apartment building in college was on America's Next Top Model Season 13 (Aminat) but sadly, I also went to college with Sammy Sweetheart from MTV's Jersey Shore and literally lived next door to her. Got to love being from Jersey, everyone's on reality tv now-a-days.
