Many of those options seemed highly improbable such as meeting Richard Nixon. You have had an extraordinary life. I would have to say the only thing I have experienced of such distinction was meeting Shirley MacLaine and giving her my seventeen-page paper about my conversion from New Age Spirituality to Christianity. Her name comes up several times and culminates in my throwing away four of her autobiographies. Three months later I left a copy of Out On a Broken Limb in her mailbox on Malibu Road. It was a book her neighbor Frank LaGard Smith published to refute her book Out On a Limb, one of four I threw away prior to my conversion.

@Carazaa I almost forgot to mention I published a novelisation of the most successful film of the twentieth century after a nine-month rewrite of Titanic: Rose Dawson's Story to Titanic: Rose Walsh McLean's Story by Walden DiCaprio Carrington. Neither the producer nor the studio would consider an unsolicited submission, but the Book Guild Ltd. in Great Britain published it in British English in August of 2016. I suppose I have had an extraordinary life too.

@KnightMoves: so which is it...or do I guess until I've eliminated them all?
I have never jumped out of an airplane. I am afraid of heights.

@KnightMoves: So am I...there was a sky-diving school in my college town. I thought I'd drink up the courage to tandem jump...but then found out you have to be sober...😒
@Iwillwait I am indeed. Once my parents created perfection, they didn't need any more.

I suspect most are true and it'll be something that looks more ordinary.
@Abstraction you should go on jeopardy

@BiasForAction My son did that... masters level at this stage. it's not something you think of when you're in primary school. He eventually found his way into it after having no idea and doing arts. He picked up an internship with the state government during the corona shutdown - good career pathway in these Australian government internships.

Is it Richard Nixon?
I did meet him, unexpectedly, about one year before he died. He impressed me in our chance encounter.
