    Your 15 minutes of fame?

    Have you been in tv, papers etc?

    I've been in papers when I was 6 or 7, with a big picture of me and my friend eating donuts and drinking juice after we won (my friend won, I came second) a local .. what you call them? You run with a map, try to find checkpoints and then run to finish? Anyway we won that and we were famous! Amongst our parents.. blah .

    I've been with few of my friends in finnish movie, just for few seconds in... 91? I won't tell the name of the movie though .

    What else.. oh yeah! I've been in the biggest finnish soap opera (salatut elämät) for few seconds as well, when they had episodes where two of the guys went to army, and I was in the army at the point and we were marching and some camera guys came and asked if they could get us on film a bit to show real marching, so.. I was in it! ... so my army career has been captured and showed on finnish soap opera

    I was interviewed when I was 15 to local paper about hockey school I was in for a week that had few NHL instructors..

    I think that's pretty much about it. How about you?

    I was on CBS Evening News in 1982. I have often been on local TV news, and have been quoted in national publications. When I was a kid, I was on a TV kid show.

    Does this count?

      Ned, Sure that counts! You're famous!

      Why were you on CBS Evening News? Or in general in local news.. are you some kind of expert on some issue, and they want you to say your opinion or what?

        There is a picture of me as a baby in some Belorussian local newspaper.

              I was photographed for the local paper when I was 5, winning the sack race at my school sports day. Christ knows why they didn't choose someone more photogenic.

                I was interviewed on national TV for (funnily enough) almost exactly 15 minutes a few years ago. Well, that was my lot - a lifetime of obscurity awaits.

                            In 1982, I was a lawyer representing a class of defendants in a class action. The issue was whether it was legal to have an attenna to receive HBO signals broadcast into the air, unscrambled. In my case, the judge threw the case out and chastised the GC of HBO. Later, Congress passed a law that broadcasters had to scramble their signals in order to acquire "exclusivity."

                            On other issues, I have been the leader of organizations and active in certain issues. I have been on Boards of this and Boards of that, etc. So I got quoted a lot.

                            Just a few weeks ago, a reporter was trying to get ahold of me to write a story. I declined to be interviewed.
