    I spent my childhood going to Star Trek conventions with my older brother. I was probably 8 or 10 years old when I had the chance to meet some of the original cast. Most of them would come on stage, do a quick speech.. sign a few autographs and leave. The nicest two I met were James Doohan (Scotty) and Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Rand). James Doohan would give a speech and refused to leave the room until he personally shook the hand and greeted all of his fans personally. Grace Lee Whitney stayed on and partied with everyone and danced with even us kids for a moment or two. Fun stuff I'll never forget.

    As an interesting side note.. my older brother passed away over 10 years ago. We sent a little bit of his ashes up into space along side James Doohan and L Gordon Cooper (Astronaut).

    Roy Rogers & Dale Evans. I rode around in their carriage with them before a parade one time when I was a kid. They actually wanted their pic taken with me & my brother. LOL

    In the 90's at the Rennaissance Fair in So Cal, Jon Voight offered to carry my Nana's coffee to our table (We had too much to carry ourselves). He is the nicest person ever. And an Oscar winner to boot!

    I once owned his car.

    Did it look like this?

    Yes. It was a great car until my stupid senile neighbor starting messing with the engine one day

    I never bought into her character's relationship with Dr Greene on ER.

    So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas......So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking.

    I've met several country singers at CMA Music Festival in Nashville. The most popular of those was probably Carrie Underwood. As far as random encounters go:

    - Loaded up baby furniture into Darryl Worley's huge Dodge Ram when his wife was pregnant. Super nice guy.
    - Did a baby registry for Lila McCann and Jaci Valasquez. Both were pretty quiet and didn't say much.
    - Helped Brad Mates from Emerson Drive shop for a baby gift (can you tell I worked in a baby store?) I've met Emerson Drive several times so we're pretty cool with each other now. He thought I was really weird when we first met. lol
    - Went to pick up tickets I won off the radio and met Beyonce (she was with Destiny's Child at the time). She didn't talk much. Kelly did most of the talking.
    - Hung out with the lead singer of Inner Circle (COPS theme song) at the hotel pool. He was super flirty with my friend. Kind of creepy now that I think of it considering we were only about 15 at the time.

    I went to university in Daytona Beach in the early-mid '90s and worked the front desk of one of the nicer hotels, so I've met a number of race car drivers and motorcycle racers of that era. Most all of them were pretty nice. Richard Petty was a cool, down-to-earth guy (his wife OTOH...). He would sometimes hang out in the lobby without his trademark hat and sunglasses, and almost nobody would recognize him. Robby Gordon is the only one that stands out in my mind as being a *kitten*.

    Don't know if this really counts as a celebrity, but I went with my husband to a Mel Tillis concert and then got his autograph afterwards. He hugged me really, really hard.
