Glen Campbell may be the most underrated guitar player of all time. And as for Joe Walsh; he pretty dang good also.

I met Major General Hal Moore and Sergeant Major Basil Plumley , two of the real American Heroes from the book and movie "WE WERE SOILDERS" . Met and talked with them on several occasions , while we were building the National Infantry Museum in Columbus Ga. at Ft. Benning. It gave me goose bumps every time I stood next to either of these great men.
I also met the actor Sam Elliot the when he toured the museum, he was a nice enough guy I guess. That about the extent of my famous people. Except for George Wallace , when I was a kid , my sister worked for him for many years until he got shot and left politics.

Ben Vereen, Lorne Green, Dan Blocker, Michael Landon, Mickey Haggarty, Walt Disney, Mr. Nash (did many of the Disney character voices), Bill Cosby,
Molly Hatchet group, Debbie Boone, Charlie Daniels, The Marlboro Man (the guy on the Marlboro billboards years ago). He and my dad used to fly homing pigeons in So. Cal., James Garner, Annette Funicello, Anna Maria Albergetti, Mickey Rooney, Jack Parr, Soupy Sales, Roger Barris, Seward Johnson (sculpter and one of the Johnson and Johnson family), and ...ready for this. Chucko the Clown. I think there's a few more but I can't think of them at the moment.
My dad and uncle had an exotic animal import business in So. Cal for many years. Back before it was illegal to have them. That's how I met some of these folks.
Just remembered another:
Dick Smothers of The Smothers Brothers made a movie in which he played a limosine driver. I was working for a limo company at the time and they rented a limo for two days to do some filming in Princeton NJ. I was his 'stand in' driver for the scenes that didn't show his face. I never did see the movie. LOL

More NASCAR, NHRA, WoW, and CART/Indy car/IRL drivers than I'll ever remember: Richard Petty, Ned and Dale Jarrett, Buddy Baker, Bobby Allison, Adam Petty, Dale Jr, John Force, Kenny Burnstein (sp), Steve Kinser, Warren and Kurt Johnson, Mario, Michael, and John Andretti.
Also Ted Turner at a Braves game back in 1976. He came back and sat with us and shot the breezy for 10 or 15 minutes. Bill Russell in an elevator in NYC. Several Cardinals players a couple months ago when we were allowed to ride the warning track in Busch Stadium prior to a game.
