You went to High School with someone from Shark Tank?
Of the top of my head, Denny Hastert when he was SOTH. One of my best friends was in Congress for a good while so I’ve met a lot of national politicians. I probably talked to him solo for 15 minutes and walked away thinking “I can’t believe that guy is SOTH, he seems like a real dumbass.” Turns out I was pretty correct.
I had lunch dinner with Phil Knight. had a chance to date Jamie Lee Curtis and Mckenzie Phillips once. Hung out with Bruce Dern for a couple weeks. Was friends with Eric Heiden superficially. Had meals with Diana Nyaid, Marty Liquori, Greg Myer, Arthur Ash. Got in trouble once when Pam Anderson hit on me in front of my girlfriend. Met all the early ladies of Baywatch, had many lunches with them over many years, The Hoff too.
Most recently had a couple hour surf session with Tom Carroll. Of course I’m discounting all the famous people you all know from the history of the sport, just assume I met and befriended most of them.
There are a bunch more, but my memory has slipped a bit, would need some old friends and a few barrels of really good beer to bring back a lot of those memories…Fun thread…

Well, that makes you the most famous person I’ve ever met. Not that you’d remember meeting a commoner like myself (you know how you people are).

Of the more than 2000 people that have stayed with me at my house over the years, I would say that I have more interaction with you than any of the others, so you are special… (-; I cannot believe we have not had lunch or a beer though, since we live rock throwing distance from each other now!! And I’m going to move this summer too!!
