Arlene Dickinson - the dragon from the Canadian's Dragon's Den, she was at a conference where I was a contestant in a small business youth award.
Sassy Jordan - She was a judge when I went to Toronto for Canadian Idol. Also got to meet the rest of the panel too.
The coolest of all, he's not really a celeb, but a very important person is Arno Gego. I'm on his annual e-christmas card list  I did a science project on show jumping in highschool and when I was researching this guy, who I later found out was one of the best course designers for Olympic show jumping in the WORLD, called me to help me with this project. I bought his book, and have spoken on the phone several times. He even invited me to attend his school in Aachen, but I couldn't afford tuition. |
Totally cool!
I spent a weekend with John Lyons
- well hubby and I attended one of his symposiums and we got to spend some one on one time with him. He is a really cool horse trainer - I've learned more about training dogs from John than all of the dog trainers I've met, used, and read about.
