CONFESS!!! Who was the first famous person you ever met

[LynneSin]

66. First politician for me that was federal level would probably be Rep George Gekas

He was back in my old district. He was a doddering old fool back then too. He stopped by to campaign at a local carnival (same one where I met Lynn Anderson but a decade later) to campaign and by then I was really getting into Politics thanks to Jimmy Carter. When he stopped by the stand where I was working I had a serious question to ask him about politics but instead of answering me he gave me his business card and said it was also good for one free ice cream cone in New Zealand.

I was so happy to see him get booted out of office even if it did take another 20+ years.

I've also met Gov Ed Rendell, Bob Casey Sr. and Jr, Arlen Specter (back when he was a republican), Rep Joe Sestak, Peter Kostmyer, Allyson Schwartz. And in Delaware pretty much met every major democrat here along with republican Mike Castle (who is probably one of the few decent republicans in the country) - Democrats include Joe Biden, Beau Biden, Tom Carper, Chris Coons, Jack Markell, John Carney, Ruth Ann Minner and a whole slew of other statewide democratic candidates.
