Re: Autographs
I actually was lucky enough to get an autograph and take the picture of the former Gov of Alaska herself, Ms. Sarah Pailn. I know, I know, not everyone likes her, but she was actually really nice.
It happened last year a few weeks after she had resigned as Gov. My nephew and I were driving from Prince Rupert British Columbia to Anchorage Alaska and we decided to stop at the beach where the Exon Valdez had ran aground in the 80's. It was not very nice weather and we got down to the beach parking lot and I was like "whoa!" -SP was just walking back to the parking lot from the beach and there was just one member of her entourage with her, there was basically no one else around. I was pretty surprised to say the least.
I went up and said hello and she noticed from our license plate that we were from Canada and we talked for a few minutes, like neighbours I guess... After a bit I asked if I could get her autograph and take her picture with my nephew. I think she hesitated at first because she had on jeans and a windbreaker and the wind was kind of blowing her hair around, but eventually she agreed to the picture.
Again, I know, not every one likes her, but I found her to be very gratious and nice; it was definitely cool to meet her! Here's the pic of her and my nephew.
