Edward James Olmas
Saw him on a flight from ORD to ROC. He was sitting next to me and acting like a big shot so I told him that every time my wife sees him on TV, she asks me "Is that Geraldo Rivera?"

(I've only been to JFK a few times, so I don't remember if there is more than one AA terminal, but it was whichever one he was flying out from.)

About a month ago, I saw former Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson and wife (both decked out in Prada), at LAX FL lounge. We were the only people at the FL that morning. Just so happens, ESPN was on with NFL highlights and his wife kept asking questions about players, teams, etc. Very nice man, I might add.

Reba
Reba McIntyre, unsuprisingly in F on BNA-LAX, last year I think I am sure she was going to film that awful television show. She was with her son.

Jeff Greenfield...In Coach No Less!
At least he was in the first row, with his wife. He didn't seem too interested when the "60 Minutes" segment came on, so I guess he's not into scoping out what the competition is up to.

Was flying DFW->MIA a week ago and Mark Curry was at the bulkhead.
I seem to be running into a lot of celebrities recently but not recognizing them. On the trip, I told my wife "Hey, I think that guy is a comedian or a tv guy or something" and it was only last night that she remembered who he was.

Steve Finley Oct 28
He was on my flight from SJC-SAN Oct. 28. Not being a baseball fan I didn't recognize him, but did recognize the name (an Admirals Club person had pointed him out). Not a soul seemed to recognize him and he was treated like a regular guy the entire trip. And yes, it was an Eagle flight and he was somewhere in back.
