(35,176 posts)Grew up with the kids. Was in the same grade and classrooms in Grade School, different Jr. High, back together again in High School and the University with Fred Jr. Also knew Jr.'s wife. Mom Phelps was the one mostly around the school but she is out and about (or was until recently, I don't know anymore) town quite a lot and daily ate her lunch in a local joint run by two gay men. I have met dad on many occasions but not in a talky sense, mostly just a standing around scowling sense.
Living here in Nowhere Land it is odd, I have met so many famous, some infamous people. Went to college with one of Gerald Fords daughters. All I remember was talking to her over a beer once and being shoved out of the joint with almost everyone else when her Secret Service showed up. Is she infamous? Well too me she is, I was enjoying my beer dammit!
Sam Brownback has children that were in both of my sons classes. He and his family were in my old house several times when picking up the kids from birthday parties. I did lunch duty with Mary several times. Ick Ick Ick. Sam semi showed us around some of the wonderful government buildings in DC once.
Many others but some are so good and some I think are good but others do not so I will stop here. I do feel I have led a very fortunate life.
