But, first, let me quickly share my own embarrassing celebrity encounter. It was during the late 1980s, and I was working at a Pepsi stand at Knott’s Berry Farm. I was at the cash register awaiting my next customer when a bee started buzzing around my head. As I began jumping around and squealing in fear, the bee landed on a Pepsi cup dispenser in front of me. I quickly grabbed a cup and put it over the bee, successfully capturing it.
As I calmed myself down, I noticed someone standing at the window waiting to be served a drink. It was Tina Yothers, who played Jennifer Keaton on the hit 1980’s TV series “Family Ties.” I proceeded to explain why I was acting like a fool. She was very kind not to laugh or make fun of me, but the unfortunate incident was forever ingrained in my brain. I later let the bee go.
