I forgot to include in my last post on this topic what was perhaps our most interesting encounter with celebrities here in western Wyoming. About 10 years ago we sold our first Wyoming house to NASCAR racing legend Richard Petty and his wife Lynda.
"The King" looks in person exactly as he does on TV; wife Lynda is no latter-day trophy wife, but an authentic real person and very nice. She does most of the talking when they're together because Richard's hearing is shot from all the years of screaming engines.
Our little place was around the corner and down the road from their much bigger place. They bought it so their pilots would have a place to stay when the Pettys flew in to spend a few days.
According to our realtor, the Pettys flew an electrician, a plumber, and a carpenter in from North Carolina. We hear these three climbed all over (and under) our house inspecting everything before the Pettys closed the deal.
