And the camera man was taking shots of the people who came to see Roy. Too funny. We also have a picture of my daughter with her idol Kate Winslet (from Titanic) Kate was making a movie in our town of West Orange and they met and talked for half an hour and then her photographer took two pics of them and emailed them to us as well as mailed the pics themselves. All in all she was not only very kind but very nice.My daughter is a survivor of Bone Cancer when she was 8 years old and her dream was to met her. Turns out Kate lost a fiance from the same Cancer and this what pulled her to my daughter to spend time with her. :)<br />Carol L.<br />Lucky4750@aol.comCarol L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05291123842810883524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883361505344244113.post-52373654391168688442010-06-28T23:32:10.743-06:002010-06-28T23:32:10.743-06:00Well, I do know a great author and even have an au...Well, I do know a great author and even have an autographed book, I also have a beautiful picture of the Salt Lake Temple, a gift from such author. Some other important people in my life include a group of Becks who have recently moved on in search of new adventures and are sorely missed.<br />I have pics of my favorite baseball players back in Mexico and other important personalities but the most special ones are wedding pictures with a handsome member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and a picture of me and my hubby with President Thomas S. Monson. He has his arm around my shoulder. The picture was taken just before he sang for me in Spanish!!

I was on the ground breaking committee for the Walton's Arts Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I met JB Hunt at a cocktail party and he said my hubby had married above his head. (smiles) When I was in HS I met Senator Dale Bumpers, which was pretty awesome. I met Jerry Spinelli and his wife Eileen two years ago. OMGoodness I'm sure I'll run out of space before I can finish listing all the awesome authors I met in 08 at the Highlight's Foundation Summer workshop....Sharon K.

I loved Roy as a little girl and therefore thought my son would also. After all he was a real live cowboy. We were in the front line just below the stage and my son started whining out loud. Well Roy's son Rusty jumped down and tried his best to quiet my son.I didn't realize there were TV cameras on us and a live mike. Rusty said to my son that if he was a good boy he'd get to shake hands with Roy. My son then went on to tell Rusty "I don't even know who he is and my Mom made me come." lol lol Needless to say we didn't get an autograph as I dragged my son away.lol And to make it even worse, we were on the evening news where my boss happened to see his employee who had a cold standing with her son. lol lol<br />Carol L.<br />Lucky4750@aol.comCarol L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05291123842810883524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883361505344244113.post-86083044954680194452010-06-23T10:50:48.236-06:002010-06-23T10:50:48.236-06:00Awww shucks, Danyelle, you are tooooo nice! :) You...Awww shucks, Danyelle, you are tooooo nice! :) You make me blush. :)Cindy Beck, authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915624341543651886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883361505344244113.post-8754021213242660622010-06-23T10:47:26.658-06:002010-06-23T10:47:26.658-06:00I have some really awesome, important friends - an...I have some really awesome, important friends - and yes, have many of their signatures on hand - in their books! =) And that includes you, Cindy!Danyelle Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006907198681924095noreply@blogger.com
