And of course seeing Larry Holmes ride by in a parade counts!

OMG! Are you a celebrity yourself and I just don't know it? Holy cow is right! For what it's worth, I was raised in Easton, Pennsylvania, home of Larry Holmes, the "Easton Assassin," though I never met him. Only saw him ride by in a parade in his honor when he won the heavyweight championship. Does that count for anything? Stacey Kimmel-Smith -- That is very cool. So he's a jokester, too? What a funny story. Your brush with fame is entirely more noteworthy than mine. By a mile. Jenny — How is this possible! OMG! Are you a celebrity yourself and I just don’t know it? Holy cow is right!

He met Elvin Hayes at a basketball camp too, many years ago. He has also met sports figures David Thompson, Bobby Jones (the basketball player), legendary UCLA coach John Wooden, Quinn Buckner, Bobby Knight, and Tom Burleson. He is personal friends with former major league baseball player Al Worthington. My son met and got the autographs of both Jack Nicklaus and Jesper Parnevik at the Memorial tournament in Dublin, Ohio, in 1999. Our daughter has met University of Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Head Summit.
