The person I want to meet now, is Alan Jackson "Legs" as we like to call him. But I really would like for him to meet my 86 yr. old Mother who is a HUGE fan of his.
My wish also is for my son Justin to meet Peyton Manning who he admires and respects as a person and football player.
I'd love to meet them both, but most of all I like to fulfill someone else's dream and to see the expressions on their faces. The reactions are priceless and the joy I get is to see them HAPPY.
I have had the pleasure of meeting a LOT of the people I have wanted to meet including Conway Twitty. But one person that I really wanted to meet happened on June 11, 2002, when I met Kenny Chesney. I presented Kenny with a framed original autograph and photo of the late great Conway Twitty, along with a certificate saying "Thanks for keeping the memory alive." Unfortunately, we were both so nervous that we forgot to pose for the photographer. My son Justin did get his photo made with him tho. Maybe someday, I'll get another chance to meet Kenny again and get that photo with him. On March 17, 2002, in Bristol TN. Kenny gave me his towel during the show and I prize that gift very much. Since it was St. Patrick's Day, I gave Kenny an ERIN beanie buddy bear with a peach rose (closest color to UT orange I could find) and a small Happy Birthday balloon attached to the bear. My girlfriend April and I nicknamed the bear Shamrock. I sometimes wonder IF Kenny still has that bear.
On June 20, 2006 I had a chance to make one of my son Justin's wishes come true. We had the joy and pleasure of meeting Miss Julie Roberts, a truly amazing young lady who can sing like an angel. Our entire family had the joy to meet Chris Young on Dec. 18, 2006 and it was a night that I personally will NEVER forget when he sang part of a song for me that was recorded by the late Keith Whitley called "Don't Close Your Eyes." That was one of my favorite songs by Keith and Chris made it even MORE special to me. Thanks Chris for making my night. To ALL the friends that have photos in my slideshow, PLEASE KNOW that it was indeed a pleasure and honor to meet each one of you and you are VERY SPECIAL to me. I hope to add more photos to the slideshow as I meet more of my new friends here on MySpace.
ALL of my FRIENDS are SPECIAL to me and I don't add you to just add numbers, something about each one of you that has been added has touched my heart in some way. God Bless!!
