Last post reminded me I met Greg Gumbel. I lived in Bristol. CT from 1992-1995, about a quarter mile from ESPN (could see it if I went to the sidewalk). There was a McD's right across the street from ESPN. NBC had just lost football and I guess Greg Gumbel had come by looking for a job. He walked into the McD's as I was walking out.
In 2000 I weht to a convention in LA. I had to stay at the Beverly Hilton, where they have the Golden Globes (not as fancy as you would think). Coming back from dinner, I see a bunch of paparazzi in the lobby. I found out it was the ASCAP Pop music writers awards. It was almost started, when a guy in a cowboy hat and a beautiful blond walk in. I asked who was the country singer and someone told me it was Jewel and her boyfriend who is a Pro Rodeo rider. They both were about my size (5' 4"). Don't know how they don't get blinded by all the flashes.
