> I had the privilege of meeting both Sagan and Randi

If the story is even remotely interesting and something you'd be willing to share I would really appreciate the read.

Will definitely look into those books. Thanks for the recs.

The stories aren't all that interesting. I met Sagan at a talk about SETI that he gave in, oh, it must have been about 1981, at the MIT Haystack observatory. He did a meet and greet session after the talk, and was very gracious. Randi, I met in 1990 when he gave a talk about skepticism at the University of Rochester. Like Sagan, he had a meet and greet afterward. He was very quirky and funny.
