Kennedy: Morristown man is king of celebrity photographs

Frank Martin, 74, of Morristown, Tenn., is a hoot. He has a breathless, Floyd-the-barber manner about him that is both charming and disarming.

His sweet personality helps him with his hobby, collecting photographs of himself with celebrities.

Mr. Martin has, by his count, cajoled more than 6,000 famous people to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him and say “cheese.”

Why?

“It’s like sinking a putt or hunting a deer,” he said. “It’s euphoria. Now, if I miss getting a photo, I’m a big old crybaby.”
