Hey, Kimber... you're famous, but I'm infamous!

Actually, for all you ladies who have asked. Yes, I AM the real Robert Redford... of the UW world at least. I make films, I star in them.

I have met a number of "famous" people. I used to teach their kids in private school back in the 70's. A few have dived on "our" boat (the King Neptune), and I've actually dive buddied with two female porn stars. I didn't realize it at the time (don't watch the stuff myself). They behaved themselves.

I met Robert Redford once ... while skiing at Sundance. Now THERE'S a surprise ... I'd be willing to bet that lots of people who ski there meet him.

Met lots of famous people back in the '70's, when I was in college ... I worked as the night auditor at a hotel in Boston where lots of "rich and famous" types stayed when they came to town. No big deal ... most of them were very nice, except for Billy Joel, who turned out to be the world's biggest arseho!e ...

So Bill ... I'm gonna be diving on the King Neptune on June 2 ... will I get a chance to meet you ???

my folks are italian... i know La Bomba is a skier and i think by memory you have a snowboard

Your memory works perfectly....


But you know - usually we snowboarders don't take the same sky routs skiers do....
This is why for snowboarder it was easier to meet him in Sharm el Sheikh. Diving...

Hmmm... sorta hard to tell...
Last time I dropped in on the Pope, some fella in the crowd was overheard asking "Who's that guy in the funny hat up there with Uncle Ricky?"
