I play golf with the guy who invented the "Flat Ball" golf swing aid, that you can buy a Walmart!

I also shook Johnnie Weissmuller's hand at a car dealership in Wichita when I was a kid. And I said "Hi" to Clint Eastwood at a hardware store in Carmel, California once. I also rode in a biplane piloted by Col. Joe Kittinger once. If you don't recognize the name, he was an early astronaut. To this day, he holds the record for high-altitude parachute jump, and is the only man to ever exceed the sound barrier without the benefit of an airplane.

But I wouldn't say I'm exactly famous for all that.
