One of the nicest people I know is my brother-in-law, Josh LaBelle.
Josh is married to Ashley’s sister, Colleen, and runs the Seattle Theatre Group which includes the Paramount, Moore and Neptune theatres in the city.
A couple of weeks ago, Barak Obama was in town for a whirlwind visit, which included a fundraising lunch at The Paramount.
Josh got to meet him backstage and said he was delightful!
I’ve never met a head of state, although I was looking at some leather wallets in a tent at the Windsor Horse Show in 1997 and heard a familiar voice next to me ask the local craftsmen, “Do you make these yourselves?”
It was The Queen of England!
Awesome! As my students in Shanghai would say…..Heads of State? I don’t think the Queen is Head of State of the Grenadines in which case I HAVE met a Head of State. When I got married on Palm Island, the PM of the Grenadines was on the island and said hello to us! Not quite the P of the USA! The Queen’s son, Prince Andrew is coming next week to open the new school in which I work.
Came across your post by chance!
Best wishes!
Michael (Melville) Sullivan.
