I was reading a story at my friend Jack’ site about famous people that he has either met or been in close proximity to, and it got me thinking about the famous people I have seen first-person. This list is just random sightings, no organized events.

Jim Kelly (Buffalo Bills QB): LAX; I was coming back from Hawaii and there were many football players on the same plane with me, returning to the mainland after participating in the Pro-bowl. He was about 8-feet tall.

James Worthy (Laker star): Furaibo Japanese Restaurant, West L.A.; “Big-Game James” was eating by himself at the sushi bar, while my friend Mike, Mariko, and I drank Sapporo.

Henry Winkler (The Fonz): Paramount Studios; saw him in the commisary when I was visiting my bro, who worked there. He was about 5-feet tall.

Christopher Knight (Peter Brady): Hermosa Beach; I saw him eating pizza with a couple other people at a little pizzeria.
