Celebrities I've Met: I was fortunate enough to
meet the Dixie Chicks in August 2002. What a thrill!! They signed a Chick Chat newsletter for me at a CBS Morning Show
taping one day after signing my Home CD at the Letterman show. I also met the Chicks after their 2006 Pittsburgh concert when
they signed autographs and posed for photos for those who waited around. I have also met Kasey Chambers when
she performed at Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Arts festival in June 2001 and at the House Of Blues New Orleans in February
2003. I also met the Amazing Kreskin at the roulette table of an Atlantic City casino. He's notthat amazing.
