- Ralph Nader. He was giving a talk at the Univ. of Mich. and my mother was one of the hosts and she introduced us. (I was about thirteen, I think.)

- Martin Short. He was doing a production of "The Goodbye Girl" (the musical) in Chicago. After the show, my wife and I ducked in across the street for a drink and dinner and he was having an after-show cocktail. (Okay, could have been club soda.) I complimented him on his work.

- Dave Coulier (the blonde guy from "Full House" and "America's Funniest Home Videos". He was headlining at a comedy club in Ann Arbor, MI and I was his opening act.
