Two years ago, I did this post but back then I couldn't find the pictures that I knew were taken. Well, I just found the pictures! So now I am going to redo the post :)

In 1983, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir was the president of Iceland. She was the world's first woman who was democratically elected as president. I was 13 years old. During the last couple of weeks of school, they didn´t really teach us any new material. It was more like doing projects, going to museums and such. I signed up for this international dance group. We were dressed in their respective old clothes type of thing, come to think of it I don't have a clue where the clothes came from...

Well, just a few weeks after that is over and school is out, my home town is celebrating its 75th anniversary and president Vigdís comes to town. Anywho, I was asked to dress up again and bring her flowers as she came to town on her official visit.

Sooooo, what is the most famous person you've met?
Let’s make it a great Thursday!

I went to high school with Bill Mondy, who later acted on Broadway, a few television shows, and does voiceover work. Not a household name, but he sat next to me in chemistry class.

I do have a photo that we framed of my niece with Peirce Brosnan from about 22 years ago. He was kind enough to pose with a teenaged girl who ran into him at a shopping area on the island of Kauai.
