Ok, this is going to make you think I'm really old....

My dad just passed away and I was going through my scrapbook and came across a letter he wrote me. I was in junior high and the Monkees were my favorite group, their show was very popular. Well...I went to Savannah, GA - 1st stop Atlanta...with my mom to visit her home town and relatives...my dad saw us get on the plane. They delayed the plane to load the whole Monkee's crew on the plane. They were going to perform a concert in Atlanta. The letter said he was hoping all night that I would get to see them...Bummer...I didn't even know they were on the plane until I got his letter in Savannah. Too sad...my biggest celebrity miss.

I did see Henry Winkler one time at Disneyland when he was young. He was hiding out from fans by the castle. That was fun.

My dad was in the Air Force stationed in Omaha in the 50's. They were filming one of the old movies starring Rock Hudson there on the base. My dad said that when they weren't filming, Mr. Hudson would come down and play cards with them.

Ok, those are my only stories. Not too exciting. I enjoyed reading all that posted though!
