Since the subject of celebrities has come up, I have a few good ones to share.
The first was in the late 70's (or so). I was at a Denny's Coffee Shop very late one night in the San Fernando valley. The place was about empty and I was with a girl in a booth near the back. In comes this loud group of teenagers -- mostly girls. They kept getting louder and louder so finally I asked them to keep it down. One of the girls turned to me and asked "Do you know who I am?" I responded "no". She said "Joan Jett", with lots of confidence, but I still didn't know who she was, and told her so. She said, remember my name because some day when you are in your 60's and I am famous, you will be telling people you met me.
Maybe later I will tell my Neil Diamond or Osmond Brothers or Lou Rawls (all former clients) stories.
The other was in the early 80's. I was at the Sheritan Commander in Cambridge Mass, trying to find a room where I had a business meeting scheduled. I was running late and the floors and room numbering were confusing. Just as I realised I was on the wrong floor, I heard a squeaky little voice from down the hall. I thought to myself "that sounds like Felix Unger" from the odd couple. Sure enough, he held the elevator door for me and it was him (Tony Randal). I said something to him and he said "This is the man you want to meet" -- and then I realized that Bob Hope was also in the elevator.
