I get to see these celebrities when I pop down to LA and when I go to events like the Pebble Beach golf tournaments or chef dinners which I used to have a blast at but can't afford anymore. My cell phone has a pic of me and my hero Laird Hamilton, big wave surfer and baby boomer hunk at a book signing in Malibu. And when I press further, I realize in one of my favorite poems, Hands, I write: <br /><br />...think of the autograph collector/who never leaves his apartment/<br />yet reaches passionately for the afternoon mail...<br /><br />So you see, Carol, we are connected as writers...Mary Kennedy EasthamWord Actresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041865850513656748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176776122345868941.post-51461957625578920872010-08-26T15:35:23.294-04:002010-08-26T15:35:23.294-04:00Oh Marian, you've got Bones McCoy's autogr...Oh Marian, you've got Bones McCoy's autograph. How cool. I have Brent Spiner's (Data) from TNG. Thanks for the compliment, BTW. :-)<br /><br />Molly, I have Evan's Bayh's autograph on a photo that I took of him before he held any office. I probably have letters from my daughter, too. Everything is of her's like that is in a draw of our file cabinet.<br /><br />Thank you both for your comments.<br />CarolCarol Preflatishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138341691821142172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176776122345868941.post-29692531690298670722010-08-26T12:33:29.610-04:002010-08-26T12:33:29.610-04:00I c ame across an autograph to my aunt from Birch ...I c ame across an autograph to my aunt from Birch Baye and kept it:) I also have the John Handcocks from Bob Gregory (Channel 13 weatherman), the former Mayor of Lafayette (my dad used to work for him), and of course, various authors I've met the past several years! But my absolute favorite are the first letters my children wrote when they were learning to write their names:)Molly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176776122345868941.post-28816353414685140242010-08-26T08:00:01.088-04:002010-08-26T08:00:01.088-04:00Carol, I know you, and you are SO NOT boring! lol!...Carol, I know you, and you are SO NOT boring! lol!<br /><br />I used to collect autographs, too, but I've lost most of them in various moves and natural disasters. I think I do still have Robert Bloch's (yes, the Psycho author). Er...the author of Psycho. He was a very nice person, actually.<br /><br />I focused on actors, back in my collecting days. I got Cesar Romero (the Latin dreamboat or the TV Batman's Joker, depending on your age) in person, just about everybody on Dark Shadows, Dr. McCoy from the original Star Trek, Zulu (Kono in the original Hawaii 5-0) and so many nobody ever heard of but I loved. I was the queen of the bit-players and B-string character actors.<br /><br />On the top of the scale, I recently scored a prize autograph of a wonderful author and fascinating person--Carol Preflatish!<br /><br />Thanks for this fun post!<br /><br />And you can have my autograph any time. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://Marianallen.com" rel="nofollow">Marian</a>Marian Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842321321484056422noreply@blogger.com
