The one that’s best suited to being here has to be the calendar model from a certain power tool manufacturer. Miss “M”, April 1990 and I met during an industrial promotion show and after MUCH grief, got permission from the home agency in Texas to have lunch and go shopping that Saturday. We exchanged a couple (hand written….. remember them) letters for a while afterwards.

I’ve attended many meetings, social events and had lunch with 3 mayors of a major city, (one who’s now a Senator). Same with a couple state and federal Representatives, as well as lunch with a sitting Governor. (Politicians aren’t fun or impressive. Lol)

Have had drinks with a few local TV hosts and news casters. Even had a Cleveland Brown join our table for drinks and wasn’t upset that I didn’t know who he was. LMAO (actually Doug turned out to be a nice guy) [BFD]

But the highlights for ME was the jazz musicians I’ve had drinks and brief chats with. Jimmy Smith, Gerry Mulligan and the son of Dave Brubeck. Two months ago I met Joshua Redman.
