His roommate was Jay Vincent and they absolutely FILLED the room. I'm only 5'3" so I felt so tiny!!. They were laying their carpet in their dorm room at the time and they asked us to help them! He kept talking about teamwork! I've liked him as a person ever since! Great smile.
Have a great weekend!

Here's another Susan who went to MSU at the same time as Magic and Jay! I would bump into both of them in the cafeteria of our dorm...I can't believe you put in carpet with them. LOL!!!
I've seen a couple of famous folks from afar - Susan Sarandon (very tiny in person) and Keith Richards with his then girlfriend and now wife once shared an elevator with me and many, many others.
Other than that, the only famous person I ever met was a fitness celebrity, Richard Simmons. I used to work at the Lord and Taylor in Ann Arbor Michigan and Richard came through one night near closing (wearing his trademark shorts in the middle of a cold, Michigan winter) and I waited on him. He had two body guards with him.
Edited to add: I can't believe I forgot -- I met Mohammed Ali, at work of all places. He was great friends with the owner of the company I worked with. A kind, very gentle man.
