I am not sure who you count as 'folks you've met" as being very famous or just met, so here is my listing
1. I have had dinner and visited Ralph at his house on 3 or 4 occasions when my job took me to Phoenix
2. I have seen Mr Buxton of P38 fame on several occasions, although I can't say I know him more than in passing
3. I have met Mr Kenyon at the Chattanooga NAPCA show several times, seems like a very nice man
4. I have met and been to Jan Still's house, very nice gentleman and my friend
5. I have purposely tried to meet as many forum members as possible and been to probably 15 or 20 of their houses and seen their collections, but I have met 40 or 50 members, possibly more and count probably 25 as friends. I would name them, but I know that I would leave many out.
