On another message board I go to this question was asked:
"Did you go to High School with anyone famous"
And it blew my mind...some of them went to college with Matt Damon. They went to school with Michelle Phiefer and Nicki Taylor etc.
So, did you know anyone famous?
Personally I knew no one...the closest I came to fame was at my old job (where DH still works) we rented out the back shop to the road crew of the Backstreet Boys so they could set up the stage and check for breaks and safety measures.
It was pretty cool. The funniest was when the crew left for the day and our Construction Worker boys got up and started dancing around only to get busted by a returning road crew guy who forgot something.
Too funny!
Your turn!

He was at the Playboy Club in Washingon, D.C. in 1964. I went there on a date, saw "The Stilt," and had him sign my Playboy Club napkin.
I still have that napkin in my scrapbook!
Okay, PUH-LEEZE don't tell me you don't know Wilt the Stilt.

I can honestly say I haven't heard of Wilt the Stilt.
But his name makes him sound like he could sell Viagra. I can see the commercial punchline.
Watch your Wilt turn to Stilt LMAO
Sorry - *snicker* I will hold myself back...I am sure he was quite a stallion in his time LOL

LMAO!!! Lana you are too much!! 
I never heard of the Stilt either.
Oh - and never knew anyone famous. The closest I came was one of my classmates and also one of my teachers was Whitney Houston's cousin.

I've met a couple country music stars since my ex-beau has a country website that gets him backstage to a lot of concerts. Also got to interview Bill Bradly (not sure if he counts as a celebrity) when I was Editor-in-Chief of my newspaper. That's about it, I think. Not many celebs come up to the Bay Area - mostly around LA.

I went to High School with baseball player Mike Lansing (used to play for Montreal Expos and Colorado Rockies....not sure where he is now). I met Brenda Lee and got her autograph once after a Christmas concert she did with the Oak Ridge Boys. Met Chris LeDoux and see him around town once in a while (he lives not far from here).

I have met (really quickly) Amanda Marshall. She seemed kinda strange...just wired or something. But nonetheless - the love hair!!!

Wilt The Stilt was a basketball player. He was the tallest man I have ever seen in my life -- 7 feet if he was an inch! The first man to score 100 points in a game.
Sheesh! Kids. Whadda they know anyhow?!

I went to school with the tall girl from Third Rock From the Sun.
I do not remember her name,  did not know her in high school and she graduated a year ahead of me.
