Earlier this summer i had the fortune of doing a bat removal/exclusion on an old log home that was once owned by a nemn senator, and was frequented by President Teddy Roosevelt many times as a hunting retreat. It was pretty neat and the inside of the home remains the same as it was back in 1908-1912 when the President was using the lodge.

Now the past 2 days i was doing the same type of work on a very old but very large log home for an unnamed person with a pretty famous family member...

yes i asked if i could take the picture. they told me the story of the bell, and it was long and not that exciting

there are several famous people who have summer homes where we live but none called this summer.

I do a lot of work in the Hamptons.Though I have not done any work as of yet for someone famous that I know of .I think its just a matter of time.Going out that way this morning My wife breaks out the binoculars as we go through the towns looking to see one.They just had some knd of film festival going on last week .Driving through that place is worse then the city on weekends .

When training some NWCO's and companies in Connecticut several years back we had some service calls at several noted celebs estates or summer homes. Dustin Hoffman, Michael Bolton the singer and "Lurch" from the Adams family fame. In Arkansas I did work for Garth Brooks and Randy Travis years back on their ranches for coyote and bobcat control. Had dinner with Randy one nite while working there.

I have done plenty of work for the famous and anonymity was the one reason I kept getting their business.

The penthouses along Sarasota's beaches were full of them.

Notice I don't mention their names !! Just saying!

I did some work years ago for baseball great Willie Mays. He was totally cool and down to earth, answered his own phone, asked me to "just call me Willie, everone calls me Willie", and he spent 15 or 20 minutes talking to me while I set traps. He's the most famous person I have worked for, but I have also worked for a few mega wealthy business people whose names everyone would know(but I am not going to post them)

A couple of big name rodeo stars. It is Montana.
A couple of big name politicians.
And a famous Montana artist. No Paul it wasn't Charlie Russell.

The thing I worry about the most with very famous or wealthy people is how I come across to them. It's been my experience that asking intelligent questions about the problem that caused them to call you in the first place, is a good way to start.

I one time had dinner with Bob Jameson and than one time I called on the famous Fox Trapper Ron from MD (without saying names)and visited without notice. Wow what a hush.

John Graham has been to my house, so there. How's that for name dropping?

WE have a very famous female country singer who bought a home a few miles away from ours and my wife said if she ever calls my wife is going on the call! lol

in my mind you cant treat them any differently than anyone else. as far as annonimity, i dont talk about a customer or their issues with anyone else anyway no matter who they are. sure i may say "well i had a similiar situation this summer and we had to do this, this, and that." but i would never drop names

I am hoping to meet Winkie one day.

Dave, I like a guy who doesn't set his goals too high!

Dave you're a cover guy with Al and you've never met Paul? At the seminars those two are joined at the hip. Between them they have two good hips.

Yeah, go figure!? I have sent employees to the seminars in the past. I hope to meet him this year in OH.

You mean Cleveland,OH? The number one tourist destination next to Disneyland and the New York landfill?

Absolutely. Rock n Roll hall of fame....and then that fabolous farmers market.

sweet... I got nothin..... Heck, I barely remember names, but can remember what I did to homes/structures like none other.
