Most famous person you ever met?
My first hero was Doug Brumwell of the Dynes Jeweller Hockey team. They were a Junior "B" team my parents co-owned (with about 10 others) and Doug was their goalie.
I had asthma growing up and was told that skating would aggravate it. So I asked if being a goalie would be ok, since there wasn't alot of skating and was given the green light.
I would stand behind the net at every home game for Dynes and studied how Doug played. My first year I got 14 shoutouts in 18 games (I was 9). As appreciation for his "coaching", I started selling "Brumwell" buttons at the Dynes' games. I made enough to buy Doug a desk clock/pen set that I presented to him at the last home game of the season, at centre ice.

Most famous person I have ever met would have to be the Queen Mother. I have been playing the trumpet since grade six and even went on to study music at York University and Humber College.
During my last year of highschool, I auditioned for and was accepted to be a part of the Ontario Youth Concert Band. They tour Europe for five weeks, playing concerts every other day. That year, we had a Command Performance, for The Queen Mother, at Buckingham Palace on Canada Day.
