I saw Terry Cummings (if anyone outside of Milwaukee knows who that is) in a music store once. Didn't say anything to him, though.

==============================

Red, he was a famous (7'4" 500 lb) wrestler and actor, that I had dinner with at Panama City, Beach, while he was visiting there.
He has passed away now, but was an exceptional person. A great guy. http://www.andrethegiant.com

I met a few french celebrities but nobody anyone here may know. I also saw Chirac at a reception in the Elysee last year but I would sure not have liked to be seen shaking his dirty hand !

I dealt to Ben Affleck one night at work, nice guy.

I've also met Bill Cosby. This guy truly has a rapid fire sense of humor.
