The charity had dropped me off there with the idea that it would be a prime spot.
Suddenly, in the dark nighttime distance, I saw two people coming toward me - up the sidewalk, husband and wife. I wondered who it might be that would risk walking by a solitary young man trying to collect money. And when I realized it was Jimmy Stewart, I was like a deer caught in the headlights. I was speechless.
I think what threw me off is that he was faking an injury and she was holding on to his right arm as if she was helping him to walk. So of course I wouldn't be bothering them for money. I think that was the plan.

That's funny.
We lived in Rohnert Park from around August 1986 through June 1996 and just across the fairway of the golf course we lived bordering was the Red Lion Inn.

Movie crews would often park their trailers within sight of our back door whenever they were filming movies in this region of California.
On one of these trips, Sylvester Stallone was making
Stop or My Mom Will Shoot.

I would often walk my bear like appearing cocker spaniel around the trailers hoping to get a look at one of the stars and wonder who was in such-and-such a trailer.
