OK, I'll chime in, even tho it doesn't matter:
Ronald Reagan
Jimmy Carter
Elder Bush & Babs
Gorbachev
Rod Stewart
Terry Bradshaw
Peter Max
Stevie Winwood
Kenny Rogers
Armand Hammer (richest man in the world at the time)

I don't know who was most famous -- some were good folks, some were aholes, but none were most impressive person Ive ever met. Just well-known.

I've met Coach Richt. Had a 10 second convo that went along the lines off...

Him: Son, you're big and tall, do you play football?

Me: No Sir

Him: That's a shame

He proceeded to go on with his day and left me. After that moment I decided to play football. I just wish I could thank the man for unintentionally helping me have one of the best senior years

Not too many famous people pass through South Central Kentucky.


*In regards to Colonel Sanders. My family is from Corbin, KY where Sanders Cafe is. My Great Grandfather/ Grandfather knew him. Always thought it was interesting because his face is everywhere even though he was a small town man.

To me Ali and Elvis are probably the most famous.

Presidents come and go. Entertainers or athletes rarely reach seven continent, world status. Ali and Elvis are two.

I thought of another one.

A partner of our company sells internet security. He's a millionaire and was quoted in Newsweek this last week about the heartbleed stuff.
