I've actually seen a lot of computing history legends in person. Douglas Engelbart, Donald Knuth, Alan Kay, Alan Kotok, Steve Wozniak... heck I even shook Steve "Slug" Russell's hand and told him he was a legend.

I know he was a ball-busting asshole, but I have SO much respect for him. He changed my childhood and kind of helped forge who I am. What a legend.
This is where I saw him, I'm somewhere in the audience for this talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBvbsPNBIyk
