I haven't met too many.

I met Mick Foley (wrestler) in the Galleria a few days before Christmas in 2000. They were in town doing a show and he was doing some last minute shopping for his kids. Real nice guy.

I sat beside another wrestler (William Regal) on a plane to Philadelphia one time. Big dude.

I don't know if you would call him a celebrity, but I have hunted with Eddie Salter.

One of my dads cousin started a Sporting Goods store with Ray Scott pre Bassmaster days, and they always had the hunting and fishing guys in there. I've met Bill Dance, Roland Martin (who is a first class d**k), Hank Parker, Rick Clunn, Jimmy Houston and I am sure there were many more.

Jimmy Houston had a group of us kids together in the store telling us a story about calling up a turkey one time and it was on the other side of a fallen tree and he couldn't get a shot on it. It got so close he just reached under the tree and grabbed it by the legs, but he couldn't pull it under the tree.

About 5 of us were staring at him with our mouths open and asking what happened next Jimmy?????

He looked us dead in the eye and said "Since I couldn't pull him under the tree I just let go of him and called him on around the tree and shot him". Then he started that Jimmy Houston cackle.


Although I don't consider them celebrities, when I was in school we used to hang out in B'ham or Tuscaloosa and I have played basketball with some football and basketball players from Bama and UAB more times than I can count.
