Celebrity Encounters.
These articles are all about celebrities that I have met at various times throughout my life. I have never gone out of my way to meet these people; I have just bumped into them throughout my day.
All these people were very nice, and I thank them all for their company, their conversation and the stories they allowed me to remember.
I met Jim Quillen on a tour of Alcatraz in San Francisco in about 1992. I had gone on one of the self-guided tours where you are given a headset with a narrated talk of the island and can do the tour at your speed.
