Who’s Your School’s Most Famous Alumni?

[DMT]

When I saw that you went to high school in Omaha my first thought was Connor Oberst. I used to know a few guys who lived in Boston that went to high school with him.

He's four years younger so I don't think we overlapped.

[Kevin Seitzer]

I don't know any famous people from my high school, but my mother-in-law graduated from high school with Mitch McConnell, and in fact, she says they always sat next to each other in class because their last names were back-to-back in the alphabet.

From 7th to 12th grade, I went to a small independent school that was all-girls until 1972. The alum who would be best known to people our age is Rob Armstrong, creator of the comic strip Jump Start. People who might be known to younger folk include actor David Corenswet, producer Marshmello (Christopher Comstock), singer Gavin Becker and author Jessica Knoll.

For college I went to Princeton, so there's a long list. The top of that list would include James Madison, Woodrow Wilson, Michelle Obama, Brooke Shields, Sonia Sotomayor, Samuel Alito, Elena Kagan, Jeff Bezos, Malcolm Forbes, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Eugene O'Neill, Bill Bradley, Ethan Coen, Jimmy Stewart and David Duchovny. My most famous classmates (1993) are actor Mark Feuerstein and American Ninja Warrior host Matt Iseman. The most famous person who was there when I was is probably Ted Cruz (1992).

I went to high school in Belleville, Ontario, home of the OHL's Belleville Bulls. All the Bulls went to my high school, Quinte Secondary School. The most decorated was Darren McCarty who won 4 Cups with the Red Wings (and whom I once was on stage with during a skit).

Now, I teach high school math and until a couple years ago the CCHL's Carleton Place Canadians attended. I taught Brett Murray who was drafted by the Sabres a few years ago. This conversation happened: "Mr. L, I didn't get my project done because I was in Buffalo for the draft all weekend". I accepted it late.

Glad it was almost!

I work for a company called WEG. Years ago I wanted to go on their web site and accidently typed in WET and hit enter. They non work related images kept popping up faster than I could delete them. Hilarity ensued. I am pretty sure the images were against company policy.

Back in the old Moonlight J thread, I wanted a picture of Dibble, Charlton, and Myers for something, I googled Nasty Boys from my work computer... umm... NSFW.

My best friend from elementary school is now married to Megyn Kelly. Dunno if that counts for anything.
