I ran track with Lee Flowers (NFL safety for the Steeler and Seahawks), lived next to Jonathan Byrd (PGA golfer) when he was a kid and Peter Bouwlare (NFL linebacker for the Ravens).
James Dickey (author of 'Deliverance') taught me to play "Dueling Banjos" on the guitar. I met Joseph Heller (author of 'Catch-22')
I had drinks one night with the members of Collective Soul and then another night with the members of Hootie and the Blowfish.
I met Tom Ford (the designer for Gucci)...it was funny to see the girls watch him and then him checking out the guys. I ran into Cal Ripken Jr. one day after a ballgame in Baltimore...super nice guy, was very gracious.
