| Jack Dempsey. I met him at his restaurant in NYC as a kid. It also happened to be his birthday. When they served his famous cheesecake to him for his celebration, he had a piece sent to me at my table.
He was a class act, and made a small boy feel 10 feet tall.

| When I was in grad school at The Univ of Texas I was on a student welcoming committee. Met several high level execs of the time, Chancellor for the London Bank, Michel Dell.....my favorite was however George W Bush...his dad was President at that time and he was a Managing Partner for the Texas Rangers. I spent several hours with him as he gave a lecture to the MBA class and then we went to n alumni luncheon where he spoke again. So I got to have an extended one on one conversation with him. He said that he had no interest in pursuing politics but all conversations led to public policy and politics. When I got home I told my wife I was going to vote for him when he ran.

| I ran into Dustin Ellerman at SHOT show a few years back, and had a small, but good conversation confirming how great of a person he is. He was one of the only people I really cared to meet at SHOT that year. there's probably a few others I'd add to the list now, but hey. I've not really ran into any other celebrities that I can remember though. I'm not one who really cares too much about those in the limelight.

I believe in the
principle of
Due Process
| I was at UT with Farrah Fawcett, Tommy Nobis, Linda Johnson and met her dad a few times. I met and dealt with Gov. John Connally several times. Senator Tower, too. I had a nice chat with Senator Goldwater in San Antonio in 1963.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown |

| I met two time Heisman trophy winner Archie Griffin at a Kroger store. He is a very nice man, very humble and classy. I was maybe ten or twelve and I will never forget it. |

I am impressed. Considering your heritage, I cannot believe you never met Darrell Royal. |
