You are ahead of me. All of the famous people that I have met are dead. William Holden, Roy Acuff, and Frank Clement, for example. I also know a few politicians who still survive, but I don't count those. Clement was governor of Tennessee, but he and I went to the same church in Nashville, so I knew him outside of the context of politics.
