Close Encounter w/David Letterman

Fellow Ball State University graduate David Letterman and I crossed paths once. Just once. I was a freshman in 1968 and Dave was a senior. I lived in Wagoner Hall, which at that time was a dorm for men only and was often referred to as the Animal House. I can assure you that it was far tamer than the movie. Dave and some friends established a radio station in our dorm with the call letters WAGO. The signal was only distributed to dormitories on campus. I remember listening to him on the radio once or twice but I have no memory of what he said on air/Editor Gary Graham, Editor's Notes. More here.

Question: Have you ever met a late-night, talk show host?
