Encounters w Newt Gingrich in the ATL airport, both Alan West and Mike Coffman in the Denver airport Ted Cruz in the Houston Airport.

Conversely I got a hug, handshake and 5 minute discussion with John Lewis(pic as well) in the ATL airport. Hello to Liz Warren in Logan and a "Hey Bernie" in downtown Burlington.

Plenty of other celebs as well in my travels, but airports are where I find most. Joe Morgan was my favorite btw...
