celebs of sorts

I often get asked if I've ever meet anybody famous on my airplane.  I do.  But when I am asked that question, I often draw a blank trying to remember different celebs I have met.   Anyway, not that anyone cares, but today it was him.
True Blood anyone?  He was so nice and pretty nice to look at too. 

In the past, I've also had:
Henry Winkler
 Who was so nice and traveled up and down the aisle talking to all the passengers.  He was traveling with his wife and they were both really pleasant flyers.

Ashley Tisdale (and her mom and dog)
 Oh and it was a MAJOR inconvenience for that dog to have to ride in coach!! PUH-leez.


Hines Ward
I love watching him play football because he is always smiling.  On my flight, all he did was sleep so I admired his BLING!!

Kim Peek

Who has since passed away.  He is known as the Rainman and he was amazing.   I told him my birthday and he told me all sorts of events that happened that very day.  The day of the week, the weather, the news, etc.  He was a wealth of knowledge.  He also may have had a little crush on the other flight attendant and when gave her a hug told her to, and I quote, "show me your womanhood" and then played a little game of grab a _ _!!  So funny!  The best part is, he let us hold his Oscar!

Stephen Covey

a well known "highly successful" author...ok, not that famous.  but still.  he was on my plane.

Chad Hymas

What?  You don't know who this is?  Did you not pay attention to that motivational assembly in middle school?  Ok, so again...not that famous.  But sort of.  Wall Street Journal thinks so. 
"One of the 10 Best Inspirational Speakers in the World" - Wall Street Journal
He has been on a few of my flights and each time he comes on in his wheelchair bundled up like he's entering a blizzard.  Beanie, blanket and all...it's not like it's cold on airplanes....oh wait!


Craig Bolerjack

Announcer for the Jazz...whoopty-whoop.  Nice guy though.

G.W. Bailey
Never watched it, but he is a character on the CLOSER.


Right now that is all I can think of but I know I am forgetting some.  I also know that I don't recognize half of the famous people that get on my plane.  There have been several bands, athletes and celebs that fly under the radar but there ya have it...That's who I've met on a plane so far.

This post is more for my own recollection than anything.  Sorry to bore you with useless information.
