Hi evryone. I don't post much but I sure enjoy reading. However, I couldn't let
this subject pass. Back in 1978 I was a starving actress in NY. My mother-n-law
was a private nurse to a gentleman who lived at the Dakota. As she lived there
with him as well, when we'd go visit we'd visit her there. One afternoon my
husband and I were on the elevator to her apt. when John and Yoko walked in. It
took my husband a few minutes to figure out why I suddenly stopped breathing and
coulnd't say a word. Then he got into a quick conversation with John, something
like what wher the chances of actually running into John let alone ride the
elevator with him, which John thought was amusing - I ofcourse kept
concentrating on trying not to pass out and look stupid so I kept quiet. When we
got to my mom in law's floor my husband said it was great talking to them and we
got out. As soon as I hit the floor and the door closed I sank to the floor and
tried to regain my composure. Sure I knew
they lived there, but like my husband had said, what were the chances? My head
kept shouting at me that I had just shared the same space with someone I
considered almost a god, whom I'd loved since I first saw them when I was 7
years old on Ed Sullivan and it just wouldn't compute. Needless to say I paid
almost no attention to the visit...LOL!!

Subject: [Pepper Land ] Any almost encounters with a Beatle?

Has anyone ever had a encounter where he/she ALMOST had a personal
contact with one of the Beatles? I was at the Weston Great Southern
Hotel in Columbus Ohio after a meter maid (no kidding) told me Paul
McCartneys crew was staying there. I thought I would go down there &
spend the afternoon waiting for Paul to pass through the lobby before
the concert. I sat there for 2 hours hearing men with English accents
go up to the hotel front desk. I even hopped the elevator they were
using. I wrote some notes & left one on each floor of the hotel. Back
in the lobby, I could swear a woman looking like Heather went into the
hotel bar for a drink. I asked a man passing through the lobby (he had
the English accent) if he could pass a note to Paul with my address &
phone. He said, " I can't do that, we are not permitted." Anyone else
almost make contact? Did you barely miss your dream come true? Some
times I think I should have tried harder...Rick
