I met Leonard Nimoy once. And Bill Gates, too. But not at the same time.

I went to UMKC (University of Missouri at Kansas City) and sang in Heritage Chorale for two years with Nathan Granner, who is now making a name for himself as one of the 3 "American Tenors" who have a special currently running on PBS fund drives as well as a CD and DVD. In fact, for about half a semester, he and I stood side by side in choir (although I'm definitely not a tenor). In addition to the American Tenors gig, he also is a guest vocalist on a CD by a group called Tango Lorca, and I hear rumors that he has other CD projects in the works.
My mom and dad both went to high school with Ed Asner, and he and Dad were pretty good friends back then. Asner still goes to the high school reunions sometimes, and he and dad spend some time catching up with each other. (By the way, as far as I'm concerned, Asner's voice is the *definitive* voice for J. Jonah Jameson, who he voiced in the 1990's animated Spider-Man series. Asner has been very good on tv and in movies, but some of his best work has been as a voice-over artist for various cartoons such as Gargoyles, Animaniacs, Johnny Bravo, The Wild Thornberrys, and Batman. And Spider-Man.)
Oh, and I met Majel Barrett Roddenberry when she was on a publicity tour during the first season of Earth: Final Conflict. I got her autograph but it got ruined by a leak during a bad rainstorm.
I could probably add some composers/teachers, but they're not names that are famous outside of certain circles (Koonce, Mobberley, Constantinides, Adler, Ehly, Martin...)
I can't wait to see Nick's list... :-)
