My dad was very good friends with the famous racecar driver, Joe Nemecheck. He also went to school with Joe, worked for Joe's father and used to party with Joe all the time. They pretty much stayed friends until Joe started to pick up on his career.
I went to school with a girl who was the daughter of Dedrick Dodge, who played for the San Francisco 49ers adn the Denver Broncos. Even though she's not famous, her father is and I think that counts. She wasn't my friend though. She was a snob, and that's me being nice.
And this is my old friend Kevin, who I went to school with throughout my entire life. Elementary school, middle school and high school. He now plays for the Harlem Globetrotters and it's good to see someone as awesome as him doing something that he loves.

I've met a few celebrities, but I can't consider them friends.
