Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, used to hang out at our house when I was a kid. I have no memory of Steve Wozniak, but I distinctly remember Steve Jobs playing hoops with my oldest brother on the basketball court that was our driveway. They also used to play long games of Risk.
Dan Gordon, founder of Gordon Biersch Brewery, was a classmate of mine, and according to him, I was his first major crush. Man, I could be a Beer Heiress! Great, great human being.

Ok...I just read through everyone's and had to post my list..LOL
While working at NASA I bellied up to the urinals in bathroom next to Alan Alda. Shared a polite hello without making inappropriate eye contact over the dividers! He was there filming a segment for his old PBS show.
Pamela Anderson: literally bumped into her in Vegas at the Forum shops as her security posse cleared the way. Let's just say that she needs her makeup.
Andy Pettitte: lives in the neighborhood and went through the same schools (he's a bit younger though). I have a funny story about him and my son.
Larry Gatlin: sang with him at a Bush/Quayle fundraiser as part of a college singing group. talked with him for quite awhile after the show. VERY class guy.
Chuck Norris: same dinner. very small guy
Red Adair: same dinner a real character
MIke Tyson: just bumped into him in Vegas..scary looking dude.
Gary Kubiak: sat in front of his family years ago when he was coaching for Texas A&M
THat's all I can remember right now.
