I just had to remove this. Sorry everyone.
It is not possible for me to name the most important people I have met.
But here is the second tier: I was a man who worked in the Oval Office's professor. (Is that vague enough?)
I have taught many Miss XYZ (3 different states) WINNERS.
I have taught a Miss USA.
I was great friends with many of Steelers of 4 Superbowl WINS Fame. I was closest to Franco Harris and his family as we traveled even traveled to Europe together. I know Mean Joe Green really well. We once shared a bottle of Chateau Le Fit Rothschild over a 3-4 hour conversation. He was once of the classiest men I have ever known! I have know many, many famous athletes as I was an active member of S.A.B.R.
I have known many famous people in classical music, opera, "flamenco," Latin dance, and ballet. I doubt if many would know be interested in that.
I have known some famous singers like Bobbv Darin (my Uncles close friend) and Sammy Davis Junior and his wife Altovese.
I knew many of the famous people in French, German, Dutch, Czech existentialism and phenomenology who would proof read my papers before I delivered them.
If I told you about the other side of the coin.....that is, who puts me on their lists...nah......but there is one person I have never met in person below and it kills me.....
My turn to let the truth ring out loud and clear!! .....but how can anybody claim to be following Alliebug?
Drinks and some nice conversation.......
I remember when I used to go see Roberto Clemente play baseball.
They have tried at work yes. But I also get hit on now and then when I am out. But I haven't taken the plunge yet.
No, I'm not that desperate. lol
I remember when being truthful made you someone others respected and admired.

Today I read several articles saying that Germany is STILL rejecting the Roma from seeking to live in their country. Few people know they also killed as many as two million gypsies in the Holocost. When will it end?
For me writing is not a singular thing. The poems I write and publish here are inspired by women (mostly here) and they come out as fast as I can write them down. Of course, compared to our good poets here, they are not all that good, but they are loving and that is what I am feeling anyway.
On more serious story writing, if I find the time it is a more careful process. I can come up with a lot of ideas and even have the outlines written in my mind already, but when I start to actually write them out, it is bound to undergo so much revision that I seldom publish them.
Finally, my main writing is in history and there the emphasis is on research. Once the facts are at my fingertips and I believe I understand what story they tell, it is easy to write them out. It takes me 7-10 years to research and write one.
So, in the case of poems I have to feel loved, that gets me singing.
In the case of stories, it is usually the same thing but more carefully constructed. Usually takes weeks to months.
In the case of books, it is the gathering of data the book will center around. That takes years.
But in ALL cases I must be powerfully in need to say something because of a specific inspiration. It is only in a very small number of cases that I publish it here--so far anyway.
Thank you sweetness.
LOL.
