Do recognise has evolved and is more of a curiosity and roots thing now, but in early childhood I distinctly remember the different physical social circles at events, the room getting warmer or chillier based on family, connections and the "come from away" factor. Have had some interesting conversations with friends from the U.S. South, born & bred New Yorkers and Brits about this one. But big ta for the fun trivia kick-start to our day. Also raised not to kiss & tell. But must confess to being wowed by the very personable Barack back in June 2010. Given the G8 is a work event of public record - and Peter Mansbridge, as well as just about every other Canadian journo I know asked me about it.

(As a part of the Chinese community in Burlington, we would always congregate on the weekends for dinner parties where each family would take turn hosting - I remember him as we were both in high school at the time.) Anyway, he had gone to university in Hawaii and met his fiancée there... who is Barack Obama's half-sister!! At the time, Obama was still senator and had yet to make his announcement for his run for the presidency. but he was there at the wedding with his wife. I don't think the Chinese community in Burlington has ever recovered from their brush with fame!Louise @ INGREDIENTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883303245642039938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-79396918667941533002013-02-05T08:53:44.742-04:002013-02-05T08:53:44.742-04:00I have met and known lots of well known people, bu...I have met and known lots of well known people, but like Tabitha, I wouldn't divulge it for a number of reasons.
