        A friend from high school has been a puppeteer with the Jim Henson company for a long time. He did the baby dinosaur on the TV show Dinosaurs and I'll occassionally see his name in credits for other things (that of course I can't remember now).

        I don't know if he's really famous, but that's all I got.

          I played booster soccer in the mid 70's on the same team as Mia Hamm (she was good then, too). I also worked with a guy who's daughter became Miss America.

            Heather Mills was the year above me at school, her sister was in my year. They used to dress a bit punky from what I remember. I wouldn't be surprised if Heather was fleecing the boys of their lunch money back then.

            I was also in the same class as Andi Peters (ex Bristish childrens TV presenter) in primary school. His surname wasn't Peters back then, it was a long African name I doubt they would have had room for in the show credits.

                My close friend John Leclair made it to the Pros in the NHL. I remember how exciting it was when he got drafted by the Canadians. We used to get drunk and rowdy back in the day.

                and my cousin is Kevin Lepage. My Dad used to bring him his tires when he started at Catamount speedway. He started off in a channel lock car. Sad part is that I dont follow Nascar and couldnt tell you what he is up to now.

                    Once a popular band....

                    I went to the same High School as the lead guitarist and bass player from Hootie and the Blowfish.

                    Nice guys. They were in a High School band together and were really good musicians back then. They were also really smart with their money. They didn't run through it like so many celebrities do. They banked most of it and even though they still tour and here in Maryland at some pretty big venues still, none of them really need to work another day again.

                      Paula (Corbin) Jones (one of Bill Clinton's "women") was in my grade. She moved away our senior year. Not a very nice person at all. Wouldn't surprise me if she made the whole thing up.

                        Anthony Michael Hall lived upstairs from my cousin in Manhattan when I was around ten. We used to play handball in the hallway. He always won as I was terrible at just about every sport. He was at the Chiller Show a few years back. I really wanted to challenge him to a game, I think I could take him now. The line was too long though and I was hungry. Boy, I would have really showed him.

                            Scott Greg was 4 years ahead of me and played for the New York Giants ... I know he was traded at least once but now he's the Silverton High School football coach and I think he went back to school after football to become a teacher to go along with being the coach ... his uncle and my dad are friends.

                            Oh and Natalie Sanders was 3 years behind me, she was going to be someone big and even had a role in the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie ... yup she got the big part of an extra in a part of the film that was cut lol lol

                            Now my mom went to school with Howard Hesseman, but he went by Butch Main back then.

                            They had a few classes together and my mom I guess was kind of a jerk ... Part of their math class lesson was to take turns on math problems at the chalk board ... she'd look for the person who looked like they really didn't want to go up to the board, so poor Butch got nailed

                                I lived next to Richard Garses spelliing ? he was or is ? a pitcher for the Twins, got lots of baseball stuff from him shoes. LOL and my nephew plays football on the same team as Joe Montana's kid. But there is a hush hush about it because he is sick of all the people bothering him. I was told not to even ask for an autograph.
