The April Mopar Giveaway 2024 hosted by @PlymCrazy, was over in a flash. So, here we go with Phase II, but the contest question will be posted later tonight.​


The local WaddleMart was in the process of clearing out all shelves of car models except for Hot Wheel and Matchbox brands when I ran across this jewel. I gotta get this for a prize:
First generation Charger!
It's a gasser!
The tow vehicle is cool!
It's yellow!

Here we are for Phase II of April's MOPAR Giveaway!

The first person to answer the question correctly is this month's Phase II winner of the M2 Machines Coca Cola 1964 Dodge A100 Panel Van and 1966 Dodge Charger Gasser 1/64 diecast cars shown in post #1 of this thread. So without further ado, here's this month's trivia...


Back in 1991 I moved the family (wife and infant daughter) from Fort Worth, Texas to Seattle, Washington for employment with "The Lazy Bee"; aka: The Boeing Company. So, we ended up living in a nice apartment with a patio that faced a large pond and wetlands. No house and yard to maintain/upkeep, but apartment living nonetheless...no outdoor activities at the complex. We can't stare at four walls everyday! On weekends we would jump into the '79 300 and drive around to see the sights or drive to Mount Rainier to hike around and take pictures of the scenic beauty. During the weekdays we would drive over to one of the nature trails in King County (Seattle) and take a long walk. Our daughter loved taking in the sights and smells from her stroller. Never any fussing, but sometimes she fell asleep.

One afternoon after work we were about 10 minutes into our walk when we saw someone walking towards us. The person smiled and nodded and we nodded as we passed one another on the trail. I turned and looked over my shoulder after maybe 20 seconds. No one in sight. That's odd I thought. They must walk fast?

Roughly ten years later I saw the same person on television. Holy smokes!!!

What is the first and last name of the person I saw on the trail back in 1991?

Hints:
1: Still living.
2: Fairly well-known, but not seen lately.
2: Not born in Seattle, but grew up there.

I'll give a thanks for your guess when you're wrong and I'll give a check mark to the first correct answer. I'll post a reply to the winning response and offer my congratulations.

GOOD LUCK!
