Have you had any near brushes with fame

in your journey down life's highways?

I offer one of my many : the time I was on the cover of AARP magazine.

One time Debbie Gibson stayed at my father's hotel and she signed her name on the bill. Which I later laminated to preserve.

Another time I dated this gal briefly in high school, we broke up, and then she went onto date a guy named Rae Carruth. He was later convicted of conspiring to murder his girlfriend (but was a different Girlfriend).

Then one time my uncle's, ex-wife's, mother, married Clint Black's (singer) brother (I think) and my uncle's, ex-wife and her son, my cousin, appeared in a photo, from the wedding, in People magazine.

Lastly, I knew this old hippee, who actually appeared on the cover of AARP Magazine.

Think that's all.... came pretty close to fame though as you can see.; February 8, 2008 at 1:49 PM
