They use to vacation in a small town in Upstate NY during August. They were incredible net workers and Bill had an aura about him. To me anyway, he seemed like a nice guy. Hillary was a bundle of energy. Wow that just reminded me, I have also met both Bill and Hilary twice. They use to vacation in a small town in Upstate NY during August.

Both my wife and I were able to shook hands with him after his address. My second son ( David E.III), my wife and I had also been invited to a Christmas party in the White House in honor of all Federal employees who worked in the White House and Executive Offices of the President during the Clinton-Gore years. My son used to work in the Finance Section of the White House during those memorable years of my life as a Federal employee in Washington, D.C.

I'm happy to learn that it was you who played the "left arm" in the movie. I recall years ago when I first saw the film thinking that the guy who got to play "right arm" gave a rather pedestrian performance. Haven't been in any films or on TV lately. Various incidents have led us to maintain a low profile these days when it comes to that, however, our lines of work have afforded my wife and I the opportunity to meet many "celebrities" over the years. Happily, for the most part you find that they're really just people doing a job and are often more down to earth than you'd expect. A wise thing that we learned from one of them; there are "actors" and there are "movie stars". You'd love to have a beer or cup of coffee with an actor - you don't really want to be in the same room with a movie star. Great story!

I do however have a friend that lives in New York and she is always an extra on Law & Order...she showed me where they filmed a few of their shows when I was there in July and told me a lot about all of the stars that she gets to meet. Can I have your autograph :P Nothing to brag about in the stardom department that’s for sure.

Once I was at an open house and was in line in front of one of our local newsmen! Big stuff! Ok, here's one. My hubs and I went to Atlantis in the Bahamas several years ago. We were in the casino one night and when Dustin Hoffman was there as well. Couldn't get anywhere near him, though I glimpsed him across the room. *sigh* Gosh, you know I live such a sheltered life.

I used to have a girlfriend at school who insisted on dragging me up to London every weekend so her and her mates could get autographs from the likes of The Smiths and Depeche Mode outside of the then BBC Radio 1 building. But that's as close as I get to stardom, actors I've met personally aren't even known in the USA, as they're mainly stage actors here. However my father had an ongoing 'deal' with a London agent and appeared in several movies in London in the 1960s, his biggest role was as a hippy boyfriend caught on the hop in Shelley Winters' bed by Michael Caine in the 1966 movie Alfie. He still harps on about it to this day lol. I’ve met a few famous people, no one I really wanted to or intended to meet.
