    The most famous person I ever met was Neil Armstrong.

    The most infamous person I have met is Hilary Clinton.

    I met Mr. Armstrong at Lebanon Racetrack, Lebanon, OH where he was sitting in the stands with virtually no one noticing who they were sitting next too. I introduced myself by way of noticing that it was a cold spring night. So I went to the concession stands and bought two cups of coffee and went back and gave them to Mr. Armstrong and the lady he was with. I spoke with him briefly and then let him be.

    I met Mrs. Clinton at a small book store in a small town in Arkansas. This was around 1990 or 91. The topic was Southern Literature. Mrs. Clinton gave a short lecture on literature and her fondness for it. Then everyone grabbed a beer from the keg in the back office the book store and just mingled and talked about books. I spoke briefly with her about the novel “The Sound and The Fury”. She struck me as a bit incongruous at that time cause she looked like a grad school TA until she started speaking an sounded like a college professor.

    We did a little round table thing where we introduced ourselves and stated the name of our favorite Southern Author when I said “Winston Groome” and a number of people said “Oh, I love him.” and Mrs. Clinton was one of them. This was like 3 or 4 years before the movie Forest Gump came out.

    I don't have a social circle that would be in a position to introduce me to anyone famous, and the few times I have seen someone famous in public I never approached them, I figured they would want their privacy and personal space respected.

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
