Heckuva fun topic!

Met Maya Angelou on the flight from San Francisco to Boise (She was the commencement speaker as I recall) a few years ago. Very nice lady even though some other passenger wouldn't stop chattering at her.

Off plane, well.. I used to work in a small studio at the Virginia state capitol in Richmond as a news photog. Met quite a few political/royals/VIPs in that environment, not usually entertainers or sports types. Three current or former Presidents, one former Prime minister of UK (Mrs. Thatcher) Couple of Saudi princes, couple of British Princes.. I was one of the folks that made it possible for you to see them on an interview with someone from CNN or the BBC or whomever. Loved that job, crazy hours and always out in the worst weather. (Why do you need to see on TV the same hurricane you could see if you'd open the darn window?!?!?)

It was a lot of fun, buuuuuuut not a lot of money. You do get a bit tired of Ramen noodles after a few years.
