Norman Schwarzkopf - He was on the board of camp above. Didn't really interact as much (at all) and was there more for the photo ops.
he is seriously my hero in a ton of ways, I've given my beloved, dog-earred copy of his Pursuit of Common Good book out to so many people (reminder, get it back from my mom!). A colleague of my husband's and I were talking at a dinner one night and he told me how he knew Paul Newman when he was a kid (he's in his mid 40s now) and I about shoved him off the bar stool in disbelief and excitement to get the whole story. He knew him through some of the racing stuff he was involved in, as his family was involved with racing too.
I've never met anyone but my step-brother is friends with 3 brothers (from the town that neighbors my home town) and they are all pro athletes on teams or in sports my DH and I follow and I always kind of want to angle a meeting but I'm to embarrassed to ask. Step-bro is back together with his ex-GF and I secretly hope they get married just because I know I will meet these guys at the reception. Haha. Lame.
