DJAngel Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Here are 3 of my autographed photos. They are my personal photographs that I had enlarged, and I sent them to the MV Production Office in Miami. I wrote letters to Don for each one and asked him to sign the photos.This photo was taken on Feb 1, 1986 in San Francisco, California, in front of the Fairmont Hotel on Nob Hill. I think I posted somewhere on this website about our trip to SF that day in hopes of seeing Don, and we did get lucky. After a lot of inquiring at hotels on Nob Hill, someone told us the Pepsi Convention Celebrity attendees were staying at the Fairmont and the Pepsi Convention was being held just down the street from there. We ended up seeing Don, Glen Frey, Michael J. Fox, and Billy Crystal. I got photos of everyone but Billy Crystal. When I got the photos, I had an 8x10 of Don, and I sent it to the studio. In the letter to Don, I told him I loved the song 'Heartbeat' That's why he signed it 'Thump...Thump' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJAngel Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Don on the golf course at Miami Shores Country ClubThis was taken by me in February 1988. Don was participating in a Charity Golf Tournament at Miami Shores Country Club. This was at the beginning of our Feb 1988 trip to Miami. We knew about it because USA Today had an article about the tournament before we went.This is one of my photos of Don on the golf course that day. Soon after we returned from Miami, I sent this 8x10 to the MV offices in Miami with a letter telling Don how great it was seeing him on the golf course and filming on the set. I asked him to sign the photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJAngel Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks for the compliment, but you know when you took as many pictures as I did of Don, something is going to come out good, I guess. I don't know why I didn't post them before, but I've always thought of doing it. Can you believe how happy I was to get these back in the mail. I never knew if I would get them back signed, but I always did. I have more. They are packed away. I know you think I should have them displayed. Well, I did have them displayed for years, but now I don't have room for them. They are in a box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJAngel Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 This is at the 1995 AT&T Pro-Am Golf Tournament in Pebble Beach. Caught Don coming out of the Club House.

DJAngel Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 it's so much fun to share these with MV fans Thanks CoopThanks Definitely CrockettPebble Beach is great, but have not been back there since that tournament in 1995. Don talked a little bit on the golf course one day about starting a new series - 'Nash Bridges', and I think it was just being publicised that he would do that new series in the Fall. After that he never played in the AT&T again. The tournament is in late January/early February each year. I'm sure it did not fit into his schedule anymore because of Nash Bridges filming. I always call Pebble Beach every year and check the web page just to be sure in case he shows up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grounds are beautiful, as is Carmel by the sea. Amazing that with all the fans, and people out there, you could find, and get close enough to DON JOHNSON for photos. Why would they allow you to approach the stars? Don't they keep people away from stars?Glad you did get to meet him (several times) and get these photos!!AWESOME!!!

DJAngel Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 That is the best time because they post the tee off times for the players, and once we knew where he would tee off with his foursome (2 pros and 2 amateurs), then we just followed them around the course. We tried not to bug him too much but there were times we could talk to him a bit. Don was really nice, and he sure was having fun playing golf and talking and laughing with his group.

DJAngel Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 wait a minute' date=' july of 1988? wasnt that when they were filming the 5th season?[/quote']In July of 1988 Don was filming 'Dead Bang' in Los Angeles. There was a place in L.A. that you could actually go to and find out where stars were filming in the area. All of this information is included in my trip story that I posted on this website. I think some of the movie was filmed in Canada, also, according to some articles I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AT&T Pebble Beach in 1990, 1992, 1995 - we found out where he was teeing off each day and followed his group around the course. He had quite a large following and so did the other 3 guys in his foursome - Vince Gill, Danny Sullivan, Payne Stewart (different years) and others can't remember right now - well you know how popular they were at the time. That's why we went all 3 years to the tournament. All of these trip stories and photos are on this website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
