Thanks, Dave!

In alphabetical order --

Avery Aames

* As an actress, I costarred on “Murder, She Wrote” and “Matlock.”

* I hitchhiked around Ireland by myself.

Cleo Coyle

* In high school I played the clarinet (fairly well) and
the guitar (badly).

* I once had a business lunch with Luke Skywalker. (Well, that's what I told my nephews, anyway.) My lunch was really with the actor Mark Hamill, who has eyes bluer than star sapphires. Can you say distracting? I could hardly concentrate on what the man was saying.

Elizabeth Spann Craig

* I happened to be in the Supreme Court (late 80s) for a tour when a justice abruptly and unexpectedly resigned. The ensuing scrambling panic from the formerly-napping press corps was very amusing.

* The only thing vaguely interesting is that I'm a direct descendant of President John Adams (and his son, of course.) Not that that's anything of my doing!

Krista Davis

* A very young and cute Frank Beamer was once my math teacher long before he became the football coach of the Virginia Tech Hokies.

*I was once caught in an exchange of rubber bullets when visiting the troubled Basque region of Spain.

Julie Hyzy

* I spoke on the phone with Ray Bradbury in 2002 when he called me at home.

* I'm a "Brother" in Delta Sigma Pi, a professional business fraternity. In fact, I was the first female to join the chapter at Loyola Univerisity in Chicago. PS - My husband is also my "Brother."

Jenn McKinlay

* As a birthday present from my dad, I got a glider flying lesson and actually flew the glider at 6,000 feet for quite a long while.

* I was an extra on a TV show with Peter Strauss called Moloney and it actually aired for several episodes, including the one in which I was moving scenery.
