When I was in college I got George Bush the Elder's autograph when he made a campaign stop at Moo U. Me and a girl from my poli sci class got to talk to him privately after his speech. I still voted for Dukakis though.

And when I was in 8th grade I wound up standing within 10' of Emperor Hirohito when we both happened to be in Colonial Williamsburg. Me for a class trip, him on a state visit.
