Jim's uncle was Richard Scobee, the mission commander of the shuttle Challenger that blew up with the teachernaut on it.

I'll shoot my final bolt. My high school township graduated Harrison Ford, Hillary Clinton, Carrie Snodgrass, and Karen Black, among others.

I came out of work (in L.A.) one day and spotted a Rolls Royce with the top down (yes, they have convertible Rolls). I ended up stopped at a traffic light next to the Rolls. I looked over and sitting in the Rolls was Sean Connery. Of course, my mouth is sometimes faster than my brain, so out came: "Oh My GOD, It's Sean Connery!" Mr. Connery looked over at me and smiled and said: "Thank you young lady. You just made my day." I said: "Oh no! You just made my LIFE!" He laughed, the light changed and he drove away waving at me. Aaaahhhh. That man still has it!

I forgot one. A very long time ago, due to circumstances surrounding my job, I sipped coffee with former Chicago mayor Jane Byrne. We were in the kitchen of her condo in a hi-rise on Chestnut street, and I saw the reality of political power.

OMG! I can't believe I forgot this one. I had courtside seats to a Lakers game a few years back. I think it was just after Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected Governor. And all of a sudden there was a commotion, and I look behind me, and there was the Governator sitting a few rows directly behind me!

Lakers? That reminded me.

I was driving on Wilshire Boulevard (in L.A.) and made a left turn to go into Westwood (home of UCLA). Stepping out between parked cars, right in front of my car, came Magic Johnson. (This was when he was still playing with the Lakers.) I came to a screeching stop just before hitting him. He slammed his fist into the hood of my car and starting yelling at me. I was so horrified because I was one of the biggest Laker fans in L.A. All I could think was "I almost killed the franchise." I jumped out of my car and went completely hysterical, babbling a bunch of nonsense. He ended up comforting me, telling me he was a fool and apologizing to me. We made quite a picture: Magic at 6'9" holding a hysterical 5'2" woman.

Thank goodness I didn't hit him. Everyone I knew would have killed me. The people in L.A. are serious about their sports heros. /blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I met Lenny Wilkins when he was coaching for the now-defunct Seattle Sonics. My dad (a high-school basketball coach)had him come to town for an inspirational talk. And speaking of basketball, my dad played with Elgin Baylor when he (dad) was a frosh at Seattle U.

OMG I had no idea I had so **** many names to drop.

Oh! I saw the entire Dodgers team at LAX. I can't remember the year … anywhere from 87 through early 90s.

I was sitting at my desk doing my job in the law firm I worked in Century City, LA, CA. Someone came in and told me Pierce Brosnan was downstairs filming "Remington Steele." I RAN to the elevators as fast as my short little legs could take me. I maneuvered my way around the crowd and ended up standing with the extras. Pierce (oh, first names now) was standing 3 feet from me. Suddenly, he dropped his pants to put pads into his boxers. (He was going to do a stunt where he is hit by a car.) I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FAINT!!!!!!!!!

I had my one moment (in my little mind, anyway) with Pierce Brosnan in his boxers.

Geez, that man is gorgeous in person! By still my heart.

My brother's ex wife used to cut Mike Schmidt's hair and a bunch of the Philadelphia Flyers hair back in the 70s & 80s.

This has to be the winner so far.
