Not Fair! ;-)

Why is it that my mother(on the left) gets her picture taken a few years ago on a visit to Branson, Missouri with my late Aunt Traudl, with the semi-celeb Yakov Smirnoff... yet ALL I can muster up for myself is an autographed photo and "Match Game" card by Dick DeBartolo, and an autographed CD from Marcia Ball... without actually meeting them?!?
