I almost met Barbara Bush once!
She visited the library where I now work; it was when I was a teenager; I can't remember if I was working there yet or not (I was "visiting" in the day; I worked part-time, a few nights a week). I was browsing the art section, when she came in, followed by reporters--she was a huge supporter of adult literacy, and my library won an award for it, hence her visit. I'm not into meeting celebrities, so I didn't go over to gawk (and I'm not a gawker, anyway). My Mom was with me, and she went over--and Mrs. Bush accidentally bumped into her, knocking her over. She bent over to help Mom up, apologizing profusely, "I'm so sorry, my dear! Please, let me help you up! Are you o.k.???" Mom thought she was a very nice person.
I did try to meet Glenn Beck at a local book signing a few months ago; we waited at a table in the bookstore, but Glenn was more than 30 minutes late, so we left (we had to get home to feed the cats!). Drat! The only time I've ever wanted to meet a celebrity, and this happens...
