re: Has anyone here ever met a celebrity?

If you act like a regular person, you'll usually have a regularly acting celebrity.

When I was in 6th grade, we kept our horses at Hammersmith Farm in Newport, RI (Dad was at the Naval War College). Hammersmith was owned by Hugh Auchincloss, who was married to Jacqueline Kennedy's mother.

The gardener's house was nicer than most homes. The stable was nicer than any home I've ever lived in.

There was a huge mansion. JFK, Jr. and Caroline Kennedy came to visit. JFK, Jr. rode a go cart all around the estate. He and I engaged in a "who could walk the top board of the white fence" the longest. My mom, Janet Auchincloss, and Caroline Kennedy would go riding.

Hugh Auchincloss gave me a ride one day in his Rolls-Royce LOL. If I went riding, passing tour buses would stop and tourists would take my picture.
