Best Celeb Sighting EVER!

Whitey, who was that dude we saw at the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead - you were 7 - he played on Third Rock from the Sun?

I sat in front of George Carlin on a plane once. Said "hi" but didn't have the nerve to be a pest and ask for an autograph

Ummmmmm.....Schwinngggg!

Eh....dunno about that one. Imagine a high school girl who has just run from Santa Rosa Beach to Seaside at 2:00 in the afternoon on a hot August day.

Yeah...that sounds about right! LOL! She looked ragged out...

Anyone remember the Jimmy Buffet sightings in the late 80's early 90's???? Does anyone remember the Isuzu Trooper that almost ran him over in Seaside???

Oh! Oh! My other famous run in!

I had to do a station inventory in Anchorage about 10 years ago. I managed to snag a first class seat to Salt Lake City on the return trip and was seated behind a very distinguished looking older gentleman and his wife. He was very pleasant and struck up small talk. Kept getting the feeling I should know him

One of the guys I went with had gone down to Seward, AK. A few days after we got back he was talking about the yachts that he saw and that he had seen a huge limo. He asked who it belonged to was told that the rumor was that it was Gregory Peck. That's when it hit me, and I exclaimed, "That's who that was!"

Very nice man who I'm sure appreciated his anonymity and the fact that I didn't know who he was at the time. He passed away about two months later...

Whitey, we used to go to Perkins at the corner of 21st/Wedgewood for late night studying. (I don't even think it's there anymore...oh, well.) We were often graced with the presence of Randall "Tex" Cobb. He always hung out in a booth by himself and seemed very polite. As much as I love "Raising Arizona," I didn't even realize it was him until my brother came to visit.

My big celeb sighting was Kenny Chesney in St. John

Oh I would just DIE if I saw him!!!!!!!!

I never asked anyone for an autograph until I was standing in line at the San Diego airport, looked up, and realized that Tony Hawk was in front of me. I wouldn't have done it for myself, but I got the courage to ask for one for my stepson. TH was really kind, and my SS was SO .
