My great-grandmother (who I knew as a child) had met Teddy Roosevelt who in turn had seen Abraham Lincoln’s funeral. Making me just two people removed from Abraham Lincoln...which is pretty cool!

DH's great-great uncle stayed at the White House with Lincoln, we have but a few degrees of separation ;)

[Revelation 911]

I love this kind of thing...I'm two degrees from Muddy Waters and all the blues greats, John Belushi all via John Lee Hooker who I met some years ago -

I am also two degrees with Ed Sullivan, Rolling Stones (3 degrees to the Beatles) etc via Bo Diddley

Hooker and Diddley both played a local watering hole back in the mid 80'

[Revelation 911]

oh I forgot - 2 degrees to Joe DiMaggio and 3 degrees to Marilyn Monroe, and the Keneddys - my Grandfather made a suit for him during his hey day--Gramps got a signed ball - which my sister promptly grabbed when he passed.

I'm also 2 degrees to several of the Apollo astronauts. My grade school music teacher was a huge fan and in the early 70's he wrangled a private visit to Nasa, even trying on Gene Cernans red striped helmet

Im also recalling Pop met Sam Walton of Sams club/Walmart fame.
