Actors and Actresses I've Met

I met Mr. Mondale when he was running for president at a fund raiser held at a friend's house.

I met Mr. Humphrey at the same fund raiser.

I met him when I worked as a phone volunteer during the summer of 1974 during the pledge drive. I was a college student. I remember him as a talented, yet humble, morning DJ on KSJN. After 42 years on PHC he is as humble and talented as when I first met him. I distinctly remember the comments from volunteers cleaning the World Theater, which had been an adult theater prior to be a home for PHC.

Fall 1976: I stood behind him in the dorm cafeteria lunch line at Territorial Hall, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis campus. He was not happy that he had to stay in Territorial Hall until there was a vacancy in Sanford Hall.

I met Mr. Houseman during a book signing at the University of Minnesota Bookstore.

I've had the pleasure of seeing P.D.Q Bach (AKA Peter Peter Schickele) twice. The first time was at Northrop Auditorium on the University of Minnesota just before I graduated over 31 years ago. The second time was in St. Louis a few months later.

During the first performance, Mr. Schickele auctioned off one of his albums. Initially, the audience did not think he was serious, but eventually people started bidding on the album.

When I bought tickets for the second performance, I suspected that he might do the same bit and got tickets in the fifth row. I was prepared for the auction with a crisp five-dollar bill in hand. When he started the auction, I stood up and shouted out five dollars. Mr. Schickele immediately responded, "sold."

Mr. Schickele told me back stage when I requested his signature on the album, that people probably thought I was a plant. I confessed that I had seen his concert six months previously.

I still have the album, although I have not played it in years.

I met Mr. Doohan at a Star Trek convention in St. Louis, Missouri.

I met Mr. Baker at a Dr. Who convention in St. Louis.

I met Bob Keeshan at a children's care show.

I met him during a basketball workshop for children that my daughters attended.

I met Ms. Sweetin when I took my daughter to a signing event at Chesterfield Mall.

I met President Bush at a reception at the airport.

I met Mrs. Bush at the same reception.

Andreas Katsulas appeared at Crestwood Plaza in St. Louis on 25 April 1998 as part of TNT’s promotion of Babylon 5: Thirdspace and the fifth season of Babylon 5 (1993). I was fortunate enough to have Andreas Katsulas sign the first page of the script for The Coming of Shadows (1995). Many of the people who attended the event were there were fans of Star Trek who wanted to meet Mr. Katsulas because of his role as Commander Tomalak on Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987). Mr. Katsulas graciously signed items from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. From what I observed, he chatted with everyone who went through the line. Although, the event was rather long, he seemed to enjoy interacting with the fans.

I stayed at the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort on June 27 through 29, 2005 while they were filming The Cutting Edge: Going for the Gold (2006). The documentary crew set up outside my room when I arrived and they interviewed Sean McNamara (Director and Executive Producer). It was fun to listen to him being interviewed.

The documentary crew also interviewed Ross Thomas (Alex Harrison) outside my room. He talked about how his character is pig-headed. It was fun to listen to him being interviewed.

I saw one scene filmed by the pool on June 28, 2005. The lighting and sound crew set up before I got back to the hotel from a meeting. Around 9:00 p.m. pacific daylight time, the lighting crew turned on the lights. It took about an hour for the lighting crew to make all of its adjustments. There was a lot of traffic noise from the Pacific Coast Highway which is adjacent to the hotel. Christy Carlson Romano and Ross Thomas were dressed in sweat suits while waiting to play the scene. Ross Thomas wore a blue sweat suit with red vertical stripes on his legs.

Around 10:00 p.m. they started to film one scene. Christy was wearing a blue sequenced top, a bright yellow light-weight dress and bright red boots. She starts at the edge of the pool, walks toward the hotel lobby, pauses, gestures, continues to walk toward the young man, kneels down and talks with Ross Thomas. The scene was filmed three times. However, it did not appear in the film.

October 1, 2008: I was on the same flight as Ms. Mitchell, Chris Matthews and her crew. They were in town to help moderate a vice presidential debate at Washington University on October 2, 2008 Sen. Joe Biden and Gov. Sarah Palin.

The flight was on American Eagle flight from Washington, DC to St. Louis that was delayed due to weather. The aircraft was Embraer 110 which only holds 21 passengers. I briefly met Ms. Mitchell and Mr. Mathews at Lambert St. Louis' baggage claim.

I met him at the same time as Andrea Mitchell.

He briefly attended our church.

He briefly attended our church. I also met him at my ophthalmologist September 5, 2018. I did not recognize him when he told me his first name. Only after I told him that I thought highly of him as a pastor did he tell me who he was.
