Or been in the same place that one was?

I've been around three.

When I was in the fourth grade, they had an assembly with Gerald Ford at the Colosseum next to my high school. I remember having some posters and him talking, but I couldn't tell you what he said.

Daddy Bush spoke at my Texas A&M graduation, and was around him a few times, spoke with him briefly, when I was working at the University.

When Obama came to Texas A&M, I was taking photos when he came to visit the Corps and was a few feet from him, but didn't meet him.

GWB. He's short

If I met President Obama I wouldn't have any words as I would be so awestruck and nervous at same time. Must have been an amazing moment !

Mine aren't that impressive.

Met original Bush but went to school when the library was opened and he was all over campus then so not that unique.

Not a President and really not that impressive but met Dan Quayle.

Most interestingly met Senator Dodd because my company hired him to speak with a group of Corp legal guys about the impact of Dodd Frank and why he thought it was good. It was super contentious but fun to watch. They hated him and took it very personally. I know not a President but that's all I got.

Was trying to shake Robert Gates' hand when he and Obama came to the Corps. Missed Gates and Obama snuck his weak slimy hand in there. This is no exaggeration, he had the handshake of an 8 year old girl and his hands were silky smooth. Felt gross.

HW Bush (x2) and Obama.

I saw Trump pass by in the Presidential motorcade, but that doesn't really count.

only HW while fishing at his library for me.

GWB was around A&M all the time. But as a former president, of course.

Michael Robinson likes those hands.

Met GWB when he was Gov. He signed my Cub Scout handkerchief

George W Bush and I shared an elevator ride up a building in Dallas. He was getting on the elevator and I stopped when I saw him. The Secret Service nodded that it was okay if I joined as well. He asked me where I was headed and where I worked. I was so surprised by the encounter that I could barely answer his questions.

Have you always been a poor judge of character?

JFKs motorcade went past me in downtown Fort Worth on 21 November 1963. I was two months old.

Was so rows behind GWB at a Ranger game one time. He also flew over me several times between James Connally and the Ranch as well he motorcaded past several times in China Spring going to and from James Connally and the Ranch.

W Bush
Donald Trump

Even more importantly:
Neil Armstrong - shook his hand, got an autograph
John Young - briefly worked with him (I asked him how was the moon. He said "you can jump real high but other than that, no big deal")
Harrison Schmitt - saw his presentation on lunar geology
Alan Bean - got his autograph
Charlie Duke - My soccer coach in 2nd grade

I saw President Michael K Young at Spec's one time. Wanted to cuss him out in line and ask where our $1,200 is but didn't.

Worked GWB inauguration parade as an Eagle Scout.

GHWB

It was good to be in the band in 1997

Heh. Clinton between Bush. Go figure.

Pres Bush 41 at A&M
Pres Bush 43 at A&M
Pres Trump while filming an episode of the Apprentice

My dad rode around the President's ranch in Crawford with the president driving, my dad riding shotgun, Condoleezza Rice and Mrs Bush in the backseat. He was there talking about plants, native prairie grasses and landscape. Back then, the big deal was stem cell research.

My dad was explaining that some nodules on some oak trees were actually caused by an insect. The president asked him if it could be used for stem cell research.

He was asked to come back another morning, drive around the ranch and provide some assessments and plans. I called him as he was on his way out there to let him know that America was under attack and the world trade center had fallen. I told him they probably wouldn't let him on the ranch. He told me you don't miss that kind of appointment until you're told otherwise. They actually let him onto the ranch. He was there for an hour or so before secret service told him it was time to leave. They were escorting the daughter out of Austin to Crawford.

GHWB

I interned for a Texas Congressman and he thought it would be a hoot for me to meet him because I was a rabid Astros fan and Houstonian.

Very nice man

Saw HW shopping at Academy in CS

Clinton many times. Been with him in the Oval Office a few times.

GHWB while Gov. at Korean Monument at Capitol.

41, before he was 41 at their second Inauguration Ball with the Texas Society Under Ronnie several years after winding up here in the D.C. area. Shook his hand, good firm handshake!

If I saw Obama coming, I'd turn around and not face him for not wanting to shoot him the finger and tell him he's a pendejo to his face. Not interested in Clinton either, might just laugh at him for being such a pelotudo!

I had several meetings with Dr. Gates while he was at Texas A&M, and he was always a very kind and polite man, easy to work with. "Just call me Bob". I also got to go to his office up in Washington.

I attended a picnic on the south lawn of the WH when i was a kid.
I got to sit right behind Reagan but didn't get to meet him.
Other attendees were Richard Pryor, Christopher Reeve, and the Beach Boys.
Met NO ONE

I touched Nixon as he was shaking hands in a crowd.

Actually, I didn't really care to meet him. Had I been introduced to him I would've been polite, but no, I wasn't awestruck at all. But he hadn't showed a lot of his true colors yet by then.

I was however, very impressed meeting Lt. Colonel Dick Cole, a member of the Jimmy Doolittle raid, when he came to Texas A&M.

Meet 41 & 43 on few occasions.
