Body:	<i>I've seen or met several famous people over the years, but 2 instances stand out more than the rest. The first time was in 1974, at a coffee shop on Encino Blvd. in California. I was eating breakfast with my sister when a waitress brought over a note for me. It was from a man at an adjacent table. It was the guy in Wild Wild West, not the star, but the sidekick. Artimus, I think was the character's name. The note said he wanted to take me out on a date. I turned him down, as my sister and I were leaving that morning, but he bought our breakfast and sat with us for a short while. The other famous person who stands out was a big band leader named Woody Herman. This was in 85 or 86 when I was working in PR here in town. I was handling press coverage for the Camelback Inn, and they brought him and his band to town for a big show. I had to show up at the event that night, and I brought my 3 year old daughter with me. I was plenty nervous about doing this, as I was fairly sure it would be frowned upon. When Mr. Herman walked into the backstage room and saw my daughter, his face lit up, he stretched his arms out towards her and exclaimed, 'Hello, you beautiful doll! Come over here!' She just stood there, but I nudged her over, and for about 2 minutes he held her in his lap, cuddled her and told her how pretty she was. It made a big impression on me, but my daughter, now almost 27, has no memory of it.</i> *
