There may be a thread like this already, but I'm too lazy to look. Kill this thread if there is.
Ever get to meet any famous and/or distinguished people? If so, who?

Well, my great uncle had a role in the film 21 and got to meet Kevin Spacey.
So that means I have a Bacon number of four, I think. ____________________ — Sofi

| | Metal_Man88's Post | I've met Dick Clark and was an alternate in Challenge of the Child Geniuses II, meaning I am approximately two degrees from Kevin Bacon.
I've also been in the same room as Jay Leno and seen him multiple times.
I saw Jackie Chan directly during a Rose Parade, as well as Sully Sullenberger.
Not much else, but that's more than enough.

| I sat next to Oregon State senator Alan Bates for the better part of an hour once. It was a few years back, though, and I barely remember the context of the event. I do recall cracking a joke that was in pretty poor taste that he laughed at, however. |

I got an autographed book from a children's writer in Year 3. It was a book of funny poems. The one he read out to us was about farting in the bath. I got the autographed copy for explaining why the poem was funny 
I need to dig that out again and find out his name. Definitely began with a P...

My sophomore high school History teacher apparently was in Gettysburg, though from what he said, he was one of the dead soldiers that was laying in the shade, since apparently it was hot on that day of recording.
Oh, man...I forgot there was a movie called Gettysburg (and apparently I missed the word "recording" in there). I was wondering what the hell your teacher was on...

| I shook hands with Christine Gregoire, Governor of Washington when she awarded me an award. (Man, that sounds redundant). My father also knew Gary Locke, ex Governor of Washington and current US Secretary of Commerce. My half-cousin is married to the female lead from Deep Space 9 (or I THINK she was the lead... One of the main female charterers, at least). I think that is it. |

I met Charles Martinet at the London SMG2 launch event and got my DSI signed.
I also met Nick Clegg (Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom) when he attended the opining of a new community centre built in my area (I helped out with making decisions during the development of the community centre)
I think I met other famous people but those two really stand out in my memories.
