In Reply to: Your star encounter posted by Victor Khomenko on December 4, 2000 at 15:35:23:
Most of the "stars" that I've encountered are famous academics such as Louis Coser, Mary McCarthy, Hans Jonas, Richard Bernstein, Agnes Heller, John O'Neill, Frederick Jameson, and others. I did meet Buffie Saint-Marie in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada while at a folk festival, but I suppose that the biggest stars that I've ever met are Ronald McDonald in Chicago in a hotel lobby several years ago and recently, Mickey Mouse at The Magic Kingdom on December 21st at his house in Toon Land. My 14 month old son, wife, and some friends from England were with me. By the time we met Mickey, my son has fallen asleep in my arms and he and I were photographed by our favourite rodent.Possibly the most amazing brush with a "star" is that I have the RCMP pea jacket that my Uncle Steve wore then he opened the door of the Hotel Saskatchewan for Queen Elizabeth II. Liz once waved to me as her motorcade drove past me.
And finally, when I was 10 years old, I attended the unveiling of a statue of Louis Riel. Robert Stanfield (of Canadian political progressive conservative and underwear fame) unveiled the statue. On his way back into the Legislative Building, myself and some mates rushed to touch him and we were knocked down by his police escorts. My friend Cameron, sporting a black eye, managed, he claimed, to touch Stanfield's shoe. So much for my encounter's with the "stars."
Cheers,
Allan
