"Anyone that wants to meet her absolutely will" was the promise that made me spend my cash and fly in to AZ......Pfff....I lost what may have been my one and only chance to meet her because I acted like a gentleman and refused to mash in on her with the rest of the over-excited throng. That was not how I wanted to meet her. This is how I was rewarded. I still relive it every day. Some folks flew in from Australia and never got to meet her for the same reason.....It's all too sad.

This is exactly what happened to me. I am a "nice" person so I didn't push my way up. We were all told to sit and she would get to all of us. Well, she didn't. I met Sharon in the airport the following day, by chance, and she told me I should have been more agressive when I told her the story. In the future I will be! She gave me backstage passes for Vegas but Stevie still would not meet me. It was very sad. I spent a fortune, for me, because as you said, Gerri promised the meeting.
