    I met Robert Sarvis, who was the libertarian candidate for governor here in VA, and that's it.
    My dad knows Ricky Rudd personally. They went to school together, Ricky being a year or two younger. They used to play football together right across the street from my house. (My dad grew up in this house.) Ricky used to send my dad tickets to the races.

    I met Travis Pastrana at a Global Rallycross race, which was really cool. When I was younger I met Dolly Parton and I met that Mike guy from American Pickers a few years back.

    James Taylor lives nearby. I've seen him in the grocery store a couple times. Everyone knows who he is but nobody hassles him or draws attention to him. I think that might be part of why he likes it here so much.

    I met Mr Lahey at a charity event. The rest of the TPB have been spotted around but never talked to any of them.

    I also met Ray Bourque and Burton Cummings when I worked at a Casino long ago.

    Interesting thread... the ones I can think of:

    Lucille Ball (held me as a baby, my parents rented our beach house to her and Desi "Ricky Ricardo" each summer in the late 50's...)
    Cliff Robertson (many times in the 60's, my dad was his dentist too)
    Many off road racers and Baja book authors.
    The latest celeb I worked with on last year's Trail of Missions show is CBS Sports announcer and off road racer, Cameron Steele...

    Ahhh, let me guess... you live on the Rock? I spent every summer growing up in West Tisbury. When I got to partying age we used to party with his and Carlys daughter Sally- she was cray-cray! So we used to see James and Carly quite a bit. Course this was years ago and I am assuming he still lives on the island, but maybe he doesn't and you mean somewhere else? And I used to deliver pizza to Peter Wolf of J. Giles when I worked in Groton MA.

    Nope! Berkshire County. James Taylor has a house in Lenox so I have seen him a couple times when I shop in the supermarkets in Lenox.

    Oh, yeah, the Marthas Vineyard thing was years ago I guess. He and Carly are no more and no house on the island.

    I was in the movie Nobel Things, and got to meet Ryan Hurst, Lee Ann Womack and several others of the main cast, also hung out with Sound Garden, Collective Soul, Stu Cook and Doug “Cosmo” Clifford from Creedence Clearwater Revival. Had lunch with that country singer who sang Redneck Woman. Also met Barry Weiss from Storage Wars last month at SuperCross last month. There's more but the early..... mid 2000's were pretty much a blur for me lol
