Here is another post in the continuing series "Famous People Joe Has Met". As I said last time he has met more famous people than anyone I know. This time I will tell you about him meeting Olivia Newton John.
Joe was on vacation in Hawaii in the early 1990s. He was staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Villages in Honolulu. One part of the hotel had a series of very small shops along a walkway. One of these shops belonged to Olivia Newton John.
He went into her shop and was looking around for souvenirs. While he was in the shop Olivia Newton John walked in. He overheard her telling the manager that that particular store was underperforming in sales.
Joe walked over and asked her if she was Olivia Newton John and she said yes. Since he had worked in sales at one time, he started talking to her about the sales. He told her that she needed to relocate her business to a place where there was more foot traffic and people had a taste for what was in her shops. She wrote everything down and thanked him.
Only Joe could do this. I would have just asked her for her autograph. Too bad I wasn't with him back then.
That is so cool!!!!
