Jean Chretien - Canada's Prime Minister - and me

I met a Canadian Prime Minister the other day: Jean Chretien. I should say I bumped into him ...and managed to ask whether he remembered my graduation day (in 1981); he said he did, and enjoyed it, as he was given an honorary degree. I don't think many Canadian celebrities get asked for their picture or autograph, but he was most obliging and in fact kind. I once had a theory about rich and popular musicians, based on interviewing throughout the 80s, that only the nicest rise to the top - and it is a team that therefore happily gets them there. Here's a picture.
