I think that my favorite VIP would be World Expo 2005 guest speaker John Rosengrant. He is pretty high up there on the perverbial totem pole. He has a long list of movie credits, he's a member of the actor's guild and has even wore several of his costumes for a few scenes in the movies that he's associated with. The man is a master modeler and make up artist. Regardless of scale. A true inspiration.
Here's a few things he's been associated with. Hold your heart.

I'd say that was a pretty good resume for being VIP don't you? His name even flows off your lips... repeat after me, John Rosengrant, master modeler. Nice ring eh? hahaha (big fan) His first words at the seminar at World Expo 2005 was, something of the effect; For those of you that don't know me, I'm John Rosengrant, and I'm truely humbled to be in a room with so many amazing artists. I think it was at that point I blacked out and just kept replaying those words in my head over and over. :lol: Then I was awaken by Herb Fogerty retired fire chief and dear friend, he said, "John, John, wake up! You know that he's talking about everyone else right?" For one special moment I thought that I'd died and gone to heaven. Thanks Herb for keeping me grounded!
Warmest regards
