No judgment, no criticism. Just has to be a true story. You tell your story to an enthusiastic audience that listens and cheers you on. Check out the website, events are hosted at several locations: <a href=\"https:\/\/storylabchicago.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/storylabchicago.com<\/a> .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I\u2019ve been attending these sessions, off and on, for many years.

14pt;\">Four months ago, I sat in the audience here and listened while a young lady told the story of her random encounter with a superstar, <strong>Aretha Franklin<\/strong>. It was an amazing story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">On the way home that night, it hit me. This is the perfect topic for my story! You see, I\u2019ve managed to meet and interact with a lot of famous people. Many of them local celebrities; a few obscure, and others are world famous people whose names everyone would instantly recognize.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The next day I sat down and made a list of all the famous people I have met \u00a0in my lifetime. 99 names! \u00a099 famous people that I actually interacted with; spoke to, shook hands with, took a photo with\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">99 famous people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Wait, how much time do I have?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Actually, I\u2019m just going to tell you about a few of them. If you find it interesting, maybe I\u2019ll come back and tell you more sometime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So the very first famous person I met was back in 1968. I was a high school senior and had been invited to a luncheon held at the Palmer House. When it was over, they marched us up to meet the guest of honor, <strong>Mr. Richard Nixon<\/strong>. Three things I remember about that encounter as I shook his hand. He had a rather insincere smile, a big nose and wore a lot of makeup; that didn\u2019t help. He was between jobs at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">While walking through the airport in Atlanta 25 years or so ago \u00a0I ran into <strong>Andrew Young, US Ambassador to the UN<\/strong>. We said hello and shook hands. In the 2000\u2019s I worked for a company that provided special services to the public through non-profits and municipalities. My job was to try to get the word out. As a result, I attended many events and met other political figures like; <strong>Congressman Bobby Rush<\/strong>, who was co-founder of the Black Panther Party in Chicago back in the 60\u2019s, <strong>Congressman Danny Davis<\/strong>, <strong>State Representative Connie Howard<\/strong>, <strong>Cook County Clerk of the Circuit Court, Dorothy Brown<\/strong>. I met <strong>Mayor Richie Daley<\/strong> at an event and had a photo taken that was autographed later. \u00a0Let\u2019s see, who else? Oh, <strong>Alderman Ed Burke.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I\u2019ve also encountered many media celebrities, mostly local, but names you would probably recognize. I was walking down the street in the loop and saw <strong>Fahey Flynn<\/strong> standing on the corner. I said hello, he said hello back. As part of the job I mentioned before, I met <strong>Art Norman<\/strong> from NBC and <strong>Bob Wallace<\/strong> from CBS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">My wife Donna is a business coach with a lot of connections. While attending events with her I met <strong>Linda Yu<\/strong>, <strong>Merry Dee<\/strong>, and <strong>Ben Hollis<\/strong> \u2013 remember WIld Chicago on WTTW?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Speaking of WTTW, during the pandemic, <strong>Geoffrey Baer<\/strong> hosted a game show on channel 11 called the Great Chicago Quiz Show where the contestants would appear virtually. I was on the third episode. He ended each show with a challenge where a contestant would try to stump him with a question. I was chosen to do that and not only did I stump him, I think I embarrassed him. The answer to the question was IIT, the Illinois Institute of Technology. Geoffrey guessed something else. I think he was a little embarrassed because a few minutes earlier we had discussed on the air how I had graduated from IIT back in the 70\u2019s, and I was wearing a T-shirt with IIT emblazoned across the front.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Again, hanging around with Donna, I met some Chicago radio celebrities like <strong>Felisha Middlebrooks<\/strong>, from WBBM radio and <strong>Tom Joyner,<\/strong> who hosted a morning show in Dallas and an afternoon show in Chicago. He was called the \u201csky jock\u201d because he would commute by air every day. Several big names from WVON radio, including <strong>Richard Steele<\/strong>, and <strong>Art \u201cChat Daddy\u201d Sims<\/strong>; Donna and I were guests on his program a couple of times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Then there were the guys I listened to on my little transistor radio when I was a teen. Through Donna\u2019s connections, met some of them in person later in life. Again from WVON, <strong>Richard Pegue<\/strong>, <strong>Pervis Span (The Blues Man)<\/strong>, and we were honored to attend a special ceremony where WVON\u2019s <strong>Herb Kent<\/strong> was inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records for \u201chaving the longest career as a radio presenter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Back in the 90s, my teenage daughter and I were listening to the oldie\u2019s station and heard that they were broadcasting live from a local car dealership. We hopped in the car and ran down there and had a chance to meet another DJ that I grew up with, \u00a0the one and only <strong>Dick Biondi<\/strong>. I got a handshake and she got an autographed photo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I was big into talk radio in the 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s. I was one of those people who would call in to talk with the host on the air. \u00a0Several times I chatted with <strong>Chicago Eddie Schwartz<\/strong> on WGN. He once gave me a certificate for dinner for 2 at the Como Inn. Great lasagna. Remember <strong>Bob Collins<\/strong> and his Pop Quiz on WGN? I was a contestant once. And I answered some trivia questions for <strong>Clark Weber<\/strong> on WCFL and he gave me a weekend for 2 at the Drake Hotel\u2013-in Oak Brook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It was 2007. I was attending another non-profit fund-raiser lunch at the Wrigley Building. Sitting next to me was \u00a0Rick Kogan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For those of you who don\u2019t know, <strong>Rick Kogan<\/strong> is one of the last, if not the last of the great Chicago newspapermen. He worked for every major newspaper that existed in this city in the past 40 some years. He currently works for the Chicago Tribune and hosts a Sunday evening talk show on WGN Radio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I was talking to Mr. Kogan and mentioned the book idea that I had \u00a0(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/stevebellinger.com\/the-chronocar\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1732056002911075&amp;usg=AOvVaw0wdFC3LLNXdUYJeOMYe83H\">The Chronocar<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He responded, \u201cThat sounds interesting, Steve. Call me when you get it published.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">That\u2019s what he said. What I heard was: \u201cWhat? You think you\u2019re some kind of writer? You\u2019re gonna write a book? Yeah, right! Call me when you get published, okay? Loser.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">You have to remember, I was a little naive and sensitive back then. I was only in my 50\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So I said, \u201cThank you, Mr. Kogan, I\u2019ll do that.\u201d That\u2019s what I said. What I was thinking was \u201cI\u2019m gonna make you eat those words, fella! You just wait and see!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Ten years later. 2016. My book has out for almost a year. I was just leaving the Printer\u2019s Row Lit Fest where I had sold several copies. I was approaching the Harrison Street subway station, heading home, when I saw, standing on the corner, all alone, looking at his phone\u2013Rick Kogan!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">What are the chances!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I walked over and said, \u201cHello, Mr. Kogan, you probably don\u2019t remember me, but 10 years ago, blah, blah, blah. You did say to let you know when I got my book published. Well, here it is!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I handed him a copy of the book. He took it, looked at it and looked at me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cI just wanted you to have a copy, that\u2019s all,\u201d I said. Then I nonchalantly walked over to the subway station and down the stairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When I got to the platform I went, \u201cYES! \u00a0In your face, Rick Kogan! In your face!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I knew my little book was going to end up on a pile somewhere or probably in the trash, but how often do you experience that kind of triumph? After 10 years! \u00a0I couldn\u2019t wait to get home and brag to my wife.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Two weeks later I get an email from WGN radio. Rick Kogan read my book, loved it, and was inviting me to be a guest on his show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Now I am a big fan of radio. When we were on WVON, I thought that was the coolest thing. But walking into the WGN studio in the Tribune Tower on Michigan Ave, and sitting in the studio with Rick Kogan while he gushed over my book, was almost surreal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So, I invite you to go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/wgnradio.com\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1732056002912508&amp;usg=AOvVaw1T5SRTkARMAdKcobzCGs4b\">WGNRadio.com<\/a>\u00a0and search for Steve Bellinger.
