Lifestyles of the poor and wretched in my case 
Lets see who hangs with the notables of the world. List all the famous people that you shook hands, got an autograph in person or just had a beer with. I’ve been lucky and rubbed a few shoulders over the years. There may be one or two more but these are the ones that jump out when I think about it.
Not in any particular order.
1. I was part of the Ready Force for President Nixon at San Clemente. He came out and shook hands a few times.
2. Shook hands with President Carter when he visited Camp Pendleton
3. Shook hands with President Reagan during a campaign stop in Washington
4. Met John Lehman, then Secretary of the Navy at Whidbey Island, WA.
5. Sat in the studio with the Jefferson Airplane at NBC, 30 Rock, NY circa 1968 (Dad pulled some strings)
6. Met the Grateful Dead in the elevator at NBC, NY when they did an SNL show.
7. Met Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon at NBC, NY
8. Had beers with Lemmy and Fast Eddie after a 1982 Motorhead show in Seattle, they showed up at the bar I was at after the show.
9. Had beers with Chrissy Hynde, as above.
10. Met David Bowie and Queen backstage at the Tower Theater in Philly during the Ziggy Stardust tour, (radio promo winner from WMMR while I was home on leave!)
11. Met Carly Simon and James Taylor at the 1st Bob Dylan Forum show, February 1974. They were sitting directly in front of me in the first row, I was in the second.
12. Met Iggy Pop and John Bonham, Joan Jett (who was seriously hot and underage) and Suzi Quattro at Rodney Bingenheimer’s English Disco on Sunset in Hollywood in late ’72 or early ‘73
13. Met 3 Commandants of the Marine Corps, Generals Cushman, Wilson and Gray.
14. Met then Major General Shalikashvili at Ft. Sill OK, later he became the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
15. I’ve had the honor to meet 5 Medal of Honor Winners and serve with one of them.
16. Was one of the extras in “An Officer and a Gentleman” myself and 4 buddies had dinner and drinks with Debra Winger and the wardrobe girls when shooting was called due to weather. I’m on screen for all of 2 seconds.
17. Met Johnny Unitas and Joe Theisman at Joe Theisman’s restaurant in Maryland
18. Met Jim Kelly (after he had retired) at Dulles International
19. Dated a former Miss Pennsylvania for 2 months, years after she won though..
20. Had a 2nd cousin who was a Playmate (A Miss September) and stayed with her and her 3 roomies on a trip to San Francisco. Nothing like hitting the town with 4 women of that caliber when you’re 18 :thumbs:
All that and it got me nowhere LOL!!
