Notable people I’ve met…

If you made a list of all the people you have met in your life time, who would they be and how would that list look like? I was recently working on presentation, and I started working on that list. I guess it would show the kind of people who have made an impact on your personal self, and maybe even influencers in your life.

If there is any account of the kind of diversity I have encountered in my life, this would probably be it. Question, however, how many of these folks actually remember little old me.
