It’s the Brush with Fame Thread!

So here are my Encounters with Famous People.

• I once shook hands with Jimmy Carter.
• And I have a letter from Jimmy Stewart that I gave to my wife as a Christmas present.
• And I stood in line next to Tom Skerritt.
• And I once drove down the freeway next to JP Patches’ car (a big deal to fellow Seattleites).
• And Sherry Weddell is an old friend and godmum of our oldest son.
• And I had dinner with Bishop Robert Barron, a huge thrill for me.
• And I gave Peter Kreeft bunny ears:

• And I met John Michael Talbot once.
• And I know a bunch of Catholic writer types.
