I would guess that if everybody's only separated by 6 degrees, then most Mormons are separated by a lot fewer than that. So I would guess I'm fewer than 6 separations. But I couldn't prove it; I don't know who he knows.
Oh, and I attended a panel discussion where he was a guest panelist, and I met him at the book signing - but that just means I know him, he doesn't know me.

I agree, cheese is great! And when trying to differentiate between Kevins cheese is a good tool. Posts: 1319 | Registered: Jul 2005

One, I've met him. And I was present when Bob Scopatz met him so I can swear they're two different people. Although, come to think of it, Mrs. Card kept distracting me whenever they would talk together. Hmm...

What if you've met him, but he doesn't remember it? I've met and talked to OSC many times. Not sure if he remembers me yet.
Who's Kevin Bacon?
I know many people who know Steve Jobs. So 2 degrees for Steve. And I'm sure Steve and Bill Gates are buddy pals, so 3 degrees from Gates (maybe even 2 since a lot of the people I know might know Bill too). Steve Jobs also knows Bono and Al Gore, so 3 for them. Al Gore (& Gates) no doubt knows George Bush. So 4 for the prez... Posts: 1209 | Registered: Dec 2003

I've got two for an amazing number of famous people -- between Herman B Wells and various people now in the ballet world in Washington DC and New York (many famous people go to ballets and like to meet the performers after).
Also, I had a relative work with Mother Teresa, significantly increasing my reach.

Some of my Alberta cousins are named Card. Some of OSC's Alberta cousins are named Card. The members of both groups are likely cousins. How many degrees for a shirt-tail in-law?

Oh! also I played "Green, Green, Grass of Home" in the theater lobby for the world premere of "True Grit" and JOHN WAYNE shook my hand and said "Great Job". Who is that Kevan Bacon guy anyway?

I've met Bob Scopatz, who has met OSC, so two.
I've also met Charles Grassley, a senator from Iowa, who has certainly met all the presidents since 1974, when he joined the U.S. House of Representatives (incidently - the year I met him). He was elected senator in 1980. So, two degrees from many presidents.
Even better (than presidents) - I've shaken the hand of Spencer W. Kimball and talked to Clara McMaster - so one degree from them and two from any general authority they know. (Obviously, this was quite a long time ago - even longer time period than when I met Charles Grassley.)

I've met Card, and my uncle did the artwork for his new fiction magazine website, so that's a degree.
It's funny how a single person can connect with plenty of high-profile people. I knew Aaron Eckhart about ten years ago, an actor who's acted with Julia Roberts, Sean Penn, and a slew of others (he's currently starring in that film "Thank You for Smoking"). He's changed a lot since he "went Hollywood," as can be expected.
It was weird to hear Julia Roberts mention him in her acceptance speech when she won the Oscar for Erin Brockvich. I was like, "Hey, I know that guy!!"

I got stepped on by Wilt Chamberlain. Talked to Willy Nelson in a Delta Crown Room. Sat a table near Buddy Ebsen while he ate a meatball sandwich. And got to meet June Lockhart at a traffic safety meeting.
All of which proves that Wilt Chamberlain and June Lockhart probably had sex in an airplane at some point.

One. I met OSC at LosCon a few years ago. No photographic evidence, but he signed my copy of Enchantment.

I would like to welcome everyone to the Giants Shadow Bar (a game). Where you can drink til' you can't type strait or talk til' you can't talk no more. But just remember to enjoy yourself.
