I've encountered several famous people. I'll tell you about Maya Angelou. It was in the early '80s and I was a nurse working at Children's Hospital in San Francisco. I got on the elevator and there was Maya Angelou. I couldn't help but tell her how much I loved her book I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. She smiled briefly but said nothing. Later that evening I saw one of the nurse managers and told her about it. She said her son was very ill and in the ICU.
