Yes, and I want a refund! <grin>
I was nominated into "Who's Who in Illinois" 1993 for being the employee of the month at a Credit Union during the same year they were named Credit Union of the year across the US. Got my name and picture in the newspaper for that one too.

I would guess that I am over the "fifteen minutes" threshold mentioned by Warhol, I have been on the evening news 3 times benefitting tent city 3, 4 times regarding tent city 4, my face has been on the front page of the King County Journal 4 times(TC4 again); I was on the front page of the B section of the San Francisco Chronicle in 89, and I had a half seconds air time on a nationally broadcast drama show in 89 entitled Midnight Caller.

Yes - 2nd hand. I'm married to the guy who designed the compaction simulator for Smith Kleine Beecham which enabled the production of the first Viagra tablets.
First hand - I own the boat to which Inland Waterwways awarded a trophy called "The Marion Munk Trophy" in 2001 for the best privately owned canal pleasure boat, and the following year they awarded her another trophy called The Calor Rose Bowl, for the best galley (which I designed!). She had her piccy in the waterway mags both times.

1980? My God you`re just a Baby ! Ha ha, I`m just playing with you. I`m scared to get 15 minutes of fame. With my luck I`d be in jail from now on. No fame please !

yup, but then again depends on what you mean by 15 minutes of fame. if it means lots of ppl know about it, then yeah i've had several of them and plan on having many more. each moment special in it's own right.
