When I was a kid I got hit by a slap shot from Bobby Hull and he felt really bad about getting me on the fore head. I still have the puck! He ended up spending a good hour chatting with me while my eyes slowly got swollen shut....

I met Gretzey. He was great too. We saw him after a game and he stayed until everyone there got his autograph and had a chance to speak to him.

Kissed by Robert Plant around 1978 when I was cocktail waitress at a downtown Chicago club. I put down my drink tray, chased him out to his limo and said, I know I'll never get another chance like this, can I have a kiss? He looked at his groupie, as if to ask her, she looked like, well...he didn't even wait for her response, he put his face close to mine. I went to kiss him on the cheek and he turned his face kissed me smack right on the mouth!!! Talk about walking on air for hours...

Then Menominee Tribal Chairperson Native Actor Apesanakwat welcomed me back "home" when I moved to my rez from Chicago. Got a thrilling smile from Litefoot when he visited my rez. Got Scottie Pippin's attention as he drove away from a Bulls game long enough to take his picture (he was a big flirt) Got autographs from former Cubs Ryan Sandberg, Shawn Dunston. Got a sexy handshake (lol, it was sexy to ME) from Bill Miller. Geez, can't think of any more.

Me and some friends met Oscar DelaHoya at a bowling alley! He was the sweetest, cutest nicest guy you could ever meet and took pictures with us and our kids, autographed them and never said no. We finally said Ok, let's leave him alone and let him bowl.
