I met Peter Marshall a few years ago, at the radio station where I worked in Kansas City. (His son, Pete LaCock, used to play for the Royals. He has remained here, and lives just a couple of miles from me.) Funny thing that morning -- I was busy working in a production room, kitty-corner from the on-air studio. Someone opened my door, and I thought I heard a familiar voice in the hallway just outside. I got up and looked out, and there was The Master of the Hollywood Squares Himself. We spoke for a couple of minutes, and I told him how much I enjoyed his "Boy Singer" CD. He autographed a sheet from a note pad for me.
I also met Ed McMahon, at the station I worked for in Nashville ... before I moved to K.C. At the time, I believe he was touring to promote the new Arsenio Hall version of Star Search. Ed autographed a pic of himself in my EoTVGS.
<< Added 7/7 >> Whoops, almost forgot: I did sit front-row at a WoF taping session, while they were in Nashville. Many of my coworkers at the time had worked with Pat before, so I had the opportunity to chat with him for a few minutes. Charlie O' spent more time sitting by me, and was even more fun than Pat was.
