I'd like to meet:
I've been lucky to have met many cool people, broken bread with some too. Most of the people I'd like to meet have long passed. I would had liked to been able to have an adult beverage with racing drivers Jim Hurtubise, Jimmy Bryan and Curtis Turner among others. How about Teddy Roosevelt or paling around with or the Rat Pack?
Below - Gotta love the Packers.
Always have loved the Green Bay Packers. Bart Starr #15 (above) was and is a class act. Here is a shot of John Brockington from the early 1970's. (below)

Elton Brand brings power to the power forward position.
Norm Nixon ran the show for the Clippers in the mid-1980's.
Swen Nater played behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Walton at UCLA. Went on the play in the ABA and NBA for over ten years. Played for the the Spurs, Braves, Bucks, Clippers and Lakers from 1973-1984. Very underated center. Another class act.
