I worked at two of Joe Eszterhas's houses. He is the dirtbag that wrote "Showgirls." Great, great ,movie. I also worked for the cartoonist who drew the first Playboy Bunny. A decrepid old fellow with a house full of all the state of art gadgets from 1968. He didn't believe I had cleaned off his roof and got on a ladder to check and fell off.

[gorman]

I never worked for anyone really famous, just alot of crazy senile old people. One of which demand to know why I didn't have "workers impervious to bee stings".

 

[kf_tree]

i was doing some removals over a 3rd floor deck when out walked chris rock. i had a job for some high paid mets player (i don't follow sports so it goes in one ear out the other) but turned it down since i felt his wife would never be happy with the job. first she wanted this huge pig of an oak pruned and if she still didn't get enough sun on her pool then she would want it topped.

 

[SteveBullman]

i never personally worked for sheikh muhammed big A

[MasterBlaster]

At one time, I worked for a tree biz that maintained the old oaks on this lady's property.

Big whoop.

 

[tree pro]

Worked at an estate once owned by Jackie Onassas, next to the Potomac. Vista pruning, cut down a whole bunch of mature trees for a view of the river. I guess we wernt supposed to because of some Potmac conservation act. Someone got in trouble-big time, but it werent me. Also trimmed the willow in the Panda cage at the National Zoo in DC, I guess they count as famous.

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

The owner and founder of Sprecher Brewery

A few big names in the Brewers, but I too don't pay attention, Sal Bando comes to mind.

But then this is Milwaukee, there are not any really famous people here. When on contract, a few names have been dropped, but I was more intent on the work then the cache'
