Shook Arnold's hand. Did not meet any of the Kennedys. But there was absolutely ALOT of wine at the party the night before.

Played golf with W a couple of times and had dinner with him at his house once. Very sharp guy. Met Dick Cheney while he was sitting VP at Camp Pendleton. Got to have a couple minute chat with him. Extremally sharp and direct guy.

While a freshman at TCU, my client (girl on the right) got to shake JFK's hand before he flew to Dallas.

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 !

I beat you were dreaming of what it would be like to be a little socialist tyrant like him. How sad.

Once or twice a month, I would go to Daddy Bush apartment at the library and cook for him and all the dignitaries he would have over. Did that for about four years as a chef.

I got to know him and Barbara pretty well.

I wouldn't have any words either, but I'd get taken down by the Secret Service for pissing on him.

Was at MCRD San Diego in 91' and got thrashed in front of Sec of Def Dick Cheney. Drill Instructor kept asking why I was eyeballing his Sec of Def. Cheney got a good laugh out of it.

Served under (then Col) Mad Dog Mattis at 7th Marine Div in 29 Palms - 92-94.

Met Pres Clinton during the 50th Commemoration of WWII in Okinawa in 94/95.

President Bush 41' walked up behind my girlfriend and I at his Museum on the Friday before the Notre Dame game in 01'. He was with some other dignitary, but got a kick out of walking up behind us and telling us a story about his time at Yale.

Was at the Library dedication as well.

Saw Barbara Bush walking her dogs many times back when I was at A&M.

Lmaooo

You must have a weird fascination with homosexual communists

If Obama was in front of me, I'd turn around and walk away.

Trump
Bush senior

When I was kid in the 80s growing up in Houston, my older cousin (probably 7-8 years older than me) was diagnosed with terminal cancer around the age of 15 or so. I think he died around 17.

I remember being over at the house and he received a phone call from President Reagan, basically encouraging him to keep up the fight. Not sure how it was orchestrated but I guess someone set it up.

I met Charlton Heston once.



Around the time I had one of those "Charlton Heston is my President" bumper stickers

Does that count?

Username checks out

Shook hands with daddy Bush at Shreveport Airport.

Was commissioned directly by William C. Westmoreland., May 8, 1971.

Made eye contact with Queen Elisabeth as she waved riding by (10 feet away) in her open carriage on her birthday celebration in London. Princes were riding on horses behind the carriage.

And the negative. Being from Louisiana, I met Edwin Edwards several times. Even though I never supported him ( and he knew it), he did a big favor for our family business that probably saved it at a critical time.

Then I have to admit allowing David Duke to have a fundraiser at our camp house.

I met both Bushes.

Thats back when the country cared about the morals and character of the candidate.

Correction, that's when the country didn't know about the morals and character of many candidates and once they did it could knock them out.

JFK was randy his whole life even as a senator. It just was kept quiet.

FDR had a mistress while in the White House, so did several other presidents. Many of them did even more while they were candidates.

You just can't hide anything anymore.

But you're right, it is a different time now.

Did you meet Trump or were you just in the same place?

GW and Trump. GW once at TAMU along with countless times meeting Condi and Gates. Trump was incredibly nice and we talked for about 10 minutes about hunting of all things. It was a really cool experience. As he walked away, a SS agent looked at me and said, hook us up with some hunting man!

Even Reagan cheated on Jane Wyman with Nancy Davis, before he was president. But it never interfered with him being a fantastic president.

But you're right, it is a different time now.

---

That's not true. Reagan didn't meet Nancy until November 1949. Jane Wyman filed for divorce in 1948 and I believe the decree was final before he even met Davis.

Reagan may have stepped out on Wyman, perhaps, but it wasn't with his future wife. He did not want the divorce in the first place. (Reagan was husband #3 for Wyman, who clearly regarded marriage as temporary.)

You're right, Jane Wyman, cheated on him. I think Nancy was pregnant when they got married but no one really cares about that. I deleted it above.

That's one thing though, I do think both the Reagan (Nancy's) children are odd ducks though. The older boy that he I believe adopted with Jane Wyman seems normal. The younger two, kind of weird.

He was quite the ladies man during his Hollywood day, though, but I think most of them were.

That sounds cool.

I know that Trump doesn't like the big game hunting. I think he mentioned that Jr does it and he really doesn't agree with it, but I think he's OK with just regular hunting but I don't think he actually hunts himself, correct?

Met Bush at a BAML conference where he was guest speaker. Two second convo.

Also, met DeSantis at the Palm Beach Republican Club. (What? too soon?)

George W at Easterwood airport during his Dad's campaign. Future President.

Met Clinton at an event I went with my high school girlfriend to. Her parents were big donors and they had photos with the gang. I wasn't impressed but the guy knows how to work people.

Bush Senior at his library after helping raise money for Rita through the Bush Clinton charity at A&M and W at an event at his library. Like senior but W gave me weird vibes. Hard to quantify not like Clinton but just something off. Again Bush Senior was great.

I was was given an award by Ken Lay.

Edit: not just president, but also CEO!

My sister worked for Governor Bush's office and one year she invited me as her date to the Christmas Party at the Governor's mansion. George and Laura were standing on the front porch welcoming every guest that entered.

I am half Asian half white and with my olive complexion am most often mistaken for Hispanic. As we walked up George shook my hand and said a bunch of stuff in his mediocre Spanish to me which I couldn't understand and when he realized I didn't understand a word and then he looked at my name with the English surname on my lapel sticker his face had this completely confused look on it.

I also got an invite to his inaugural ball, that was a great party. Emilio performed when he was in his prime.

Also when I on campus GHWB drove right past me on his golf cart and he waved and smiled.

I shook Bush, Jr.'s hand at Crawford High graduation, 2000. I also sat about 50 ft away from Vladamir Putin when he was visiting Bush in Crawford and they used our gym for a press conference.

George HW at his office in Houston when I was a kid. Think it was not too long after he lost to Clinton. He signed my Boy Scout handbook. Wish i had a clue where it was. The thing I was most impressed by was the opulent jewelry and medals framed in the hallway that leaders from the Middle East had sent him as gifts.

Told this story before but was running the trails with a friend at river legacy in Arlington, Tx. A guy who looked like GWB road past on a mountain bike. When we got out of the trails, sure enough, a bunch of SS at the trail head. Ended up sticking around to grab a picture and GWB threw up a gigem as well.

Shook W's hand after he spoke at a conference while governor. The main thing I remembered was how smooth and soft his hand was.

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

Are you from New Braunfels? We lived not too far from Charlie Duke. Still have his signed book and signed picture of him on the moon.

Saw 2 scumbags...
