All of mine are business related authors, consultants, thinkers. I was lucky enough meet these three and get them to autograph their most famous books. Deming - Out of the Crisis; Covey - Seven Habits; Peters - In Search of Excellence.
How many of you have heard of Dr. Deming? I attended one of his famous three day seminars. Back in the 80s, he was one of the āquality gurus.ā Very interesting life. Taught me a lotā¦strangely, about statistics.Because of him I harass our local national weather station on Twitter when use ānormalā instead āaverageāā¦āLast monthās rainfall was .8ā above normal." AGGGGHHHHH! (Normal is a range, not a precise number.)
When he passed, the Wall Street Journal had nothing but a standard, little obit. I was really pissed. His contributions to Japanās and the USā economy was enormous.

Hi, Leo! I had the newest iPhone when I met McGuinn, using it to take this picture, and he was VERY interested in it. Cool that you engineered Pete Seeger. I had a friend in grad school who worked for him digitizing the index for Sing Out magazine, and from what I remember, he was not the nicest boss.
Iām next to Roger in the Farm Aid shirt.

I asked to him about his first suppressed movie Superstar, his bio of Karen Carpenterās battle with anorexia and bulimia told with dolls, and he let me know that it was available on the DL even if it couldnāt be shown in theaters. He was very knowledgeable about film and film history as well.

Climbed onto a Sydney bus, sat down and found myself Facing Chrissy Amphlett, looked around and realised the Divinyls (a successful Australian rock band) were all riding a bus into the city.
Said Hi, and had a chat for 3 stops, till they got off.
I have āpleasure and painā on my play list, a great song.
Enjoy!

Back in the early 1990s I was living in Tucson, AZ. Me and a buddy went to a local bar after work which was pretty empty. We were getting great service since the predominantly female waitstaff was bored silly. That was until Jason Priestly (still super popular from his 90210 fame) walked in (by himself). His table was instantly surrounded by all of the employees in the bar, and we could no longer flag someone down for refills. I guess that means it was time to go. We strolled over to Jasonās table, said hi and thanked him (sarcastically) for stealing all of the attention in the bar. He cracked up and we chatted for a few minutes. He said he was in town filming a new western movie called Tombstone (great film BTW). Pretty down to earth guy actually.

Changed my vote, kicking myself for not making the connection. I met Mary Jo Foley back in 2015 when she recorded Windows Weekly 399 at Microsoftās London offices. Sheās every bit as much fun in real life as she comes across on the recordings.
