Re: Name 5 people you have met/close proximity with... But
I don't even have 5 neighbors, much less have I met 5 famous people. I did have a pretty long conversation with Neal McCoy (country singer) once. Really nice guy.

Name 5 people you have met/close proximity with... But
It's not like I am friends with any of these folks or anything, but I guess I have to come in touch with a number of them over the years. Plus, I'm old. I may try to post five more, with one being a lie, since I did so poorly on the first one and made it pretty easy to guess.

Bill Murray. He’s a UL fan, or was.

Name 5 people you have met/close proximity with... But
No one guessed my to Georges. The reason I asked was because I did not personally meet George Bush but was in close proximity to him as in the wings of the stage when he addressed the AMVETS national convention in Louisville which iirc was in 88’. He also waved from the motorcade as it passed by us standing in the side wall.
I’ve never seen in person or met George Clooney.

Re: Name 5 people you have met/close proximity with... But
I'm like you. I can only think of one reasonably famous person I've met, though I did know her more than just in passing. I went to high school with Ashley Judd. One year for sure, maybe 2. that's about it.
I do think people on TV shows are talking directly to me though. Does that count?People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: Name 5 people you have met/close proximity with... But
Rode the PATH with Bill from Newark to Manhattan after the North Carolina East Regional Final. We both stood against the end wall next to each other. I had no clue who he was. When UK fans who were also Reds fans got off at Hoboken they recognized him and started asking him if he had been to Spring Training in AZ. At that time I knew he was someone famous. His son and Grandson were with him and I struck up a conversation about grandson playing Angry Birds. About 5 minutes before the end of the ride I figured it out.Real Fan since 1958

That leaves Willie Mays and Hornung, since just about everybody that’s lived in Louisville has met Paul Hornung, I’ll go with Willie Mays, unless you’re using trickeration and you’re one of few from Louisville that hasn’t met Hornung.

Re: Name 5 people you have met/close proximity with... But
I met Willie Mays and had my picture made with him at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh in 1958.
Ya”ll win the Golden Sombrero! Paul Hornung grew up on my street but moved before I was born. My dad used to run into him regularly at Flaherty’s in duPont. Alas, Paul never came to Butchertown Pub Or Phoenix Hill, so I never met him.Real Fan since 1958

In my youth I tended bar at Jim Porters, I had the honor of asking Hornung to leave at closing time on several occasions. He never wanted to leave, and would even pull the ole “do you know who I am” routine. I always responded with yes, we all know you are, but if you want to be able to come back you need to leave now…please.
Porters is also where I met Jerry West.

And no, I don't have 5 per initial, just sorta worked out that way for this one (well, 4 of them).

Re: Name 5 people you have met/close proximity with... But
Cameron Mills had a Charity Golf Tournament at Connemara Golf Club. Each foursome got to play several holes with celebrities. Tubby, Mumme, Sam Bowie, Jeff Shepard all played. Ashley was the Designated Putter for all groups on the 9th green. We all were able to get together for a picnic lunch and pictures.
On the second hole at Connemara, about 190 yds, Bowie pulls out his 9 iron. That club was longer than my driver. He hit it about 6 ft from the cup. My 3 iron was short.Real Fan since 1958

Nope, I ended up back stage at a Farm Aid concert in Louisville at Cardinal Stadium. I was in the food tent going through the buffet with Willie right in front of me. We exchanged idle chit chat regarding the food, the day, and the crowd.

UK basketball players have been some of my easiest ones before Covid when I would go to the SEC or NCAA tournament and cover for the site, or every few years head to Lexington for a game. Talk to all of the players postgame in dressing room (postseason), etc. and have for years. But didn't for A.D. I did, however, in New Orleans after he arrived in the NBA, courtesy of my brother in law and somebody he knew with the Pelicans.
So strike 1.

Correct, even though I was standing a few feet from him when he hit his second shot on the par 5 (iirc number 13, but the course has changed since then) on the back side at Valhalla in the 2000 PGA. He was going for the green and crushed the ball and I said “holy s@&$t” kind of louder than I meant, he gave me a nod and a wry smile as started walking.
So I can’t really claim that one…
