Over the years, I have been fortunate to meet some pretty interesting folks.  I thought it would be fun to have a page devoted to photos taken with various friends, family, musicans and other "close encounters".  Hence the name "Me and . . . .".  Most of these pictures can also be found on other pages of the website.  Please forgive me for those I left out.  It just means that I wasn't able to get my hands on a photo with you.
