Brushes with Fame

We've all had them.  We love to talk about them.  Sometimes we even get pictures to prove we met them.  I'm talking about brushes with fame, meeting the people who are in the news that we admire, or sometimes don't like but like to brag about that we saw.  We've had a few in our lifetimes.  He're are just a couple.  I'll add more later.

Years ago my daughter had an opportunity to do an internship for a class in Jr. High School.  She got to go to New York City and work with one of the editors of YM magazine.  While she was doing that my wife had made arrangements to go and visit WABC Radio and meet Sean Hannity.  We got more than we bargained for when we got there.  We met with his producer and he introduced us to Flipper (if you listened to his show years ago you'll remember her as his call screener), and we even got to sit in the studio while he was doing the show.  That was an experience we'll never forget.

Now here's something you may not know.  Rush Limbaugh also had his studio right next to Sean.  We got to go in and sit at Rush's chair behind the now famous "Golden EIB Microphone".   Yes, it really is gold plated!  We took some pictures to prove we were there.  What a thrill.  Karen continues to listen to him every day on his podcasts since she is working during the day.

We've met other people throughout the years including Sarah Evans and Donny Osmond, just to name a couple.  Unfortunately we didn't have a camera with us those days.
