Anyone famous graduate from your high school...

[Reverend_Smitty]

I was inspired to post this thread because of the Alito confirmation hearings. Sam Alito is a graduate of my school, many years before my time (although I do know the person who he went to the prom with). We had crazy RWer Senator Bob Smith of NH grace our hallways. As well as a few minor sports celebrities Dahntay Jones of the Memphis Grizzlies and Dave Gallagher of various MLB teams.

So any major celebs graduate from your HS?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

1. Not from mine.

:popcorn:

[Paladin]

2. Tom Kite Was In My High School Class In Austin, TX

He's been to some of the class reunions and I've run into him at a couple of golf tournaments over the years. Couldn't be a nicer, more unassuming guy than Tommy.....

[ZombieNixon]

3. Just me.

:D

It's sort of a...delayed reaction thing, though.

[DS1]

4. Ethan Hawke

Even though he never showed up

[gollygee]

5. Derek Jeter

no one else I can think of

[nytemare]

6. Wayne Brady, Johnny Damon.

I was in classes with Wayne. Great guy.

[name not needed]

22. Does he make Bryant Gumbel look like Malcom X?

[Common Sense Party]

36. One of the funniest, most talented guys in show business.

I get so tired of hearing the "he's not black enough" canard. That is so juvenile. He's funny. Who the hell cares what color he is?

[nytemare]

83. He couldn't be a nicer guy.

I was in the pit orchestra of a High School production that he had the lead in, and he was great. I was glad to see him on "Whose Line", and sad that they cancelled his show.

He is a rarity, sort of a male Bette Midler/Cher type, he can do comedy, sing, act, everything.

[yurbud]

128. so he's not like he was on Dave Chapelle?

[Patiod]

144. "Is Wayne Brady gonna hafta choke a bitch"

I thought he was an amazingly good sport with that skit!

[rug]

7. Lewis Alcindor

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Loni Anderson.

[BuddhaGirl]

39. my husband graduated from Arthur Hill in '71

One of his English teachers at South Junior High was Theodore Roethke's sister :hi:

[5thGenDemocrat]

45. I went to North Junior High

I bet I'd know a bunch of the guys your husband attended AHHS with. Especially if he hung out with grease monkey/hoodlum types who liked to pick on Chuck H's kid brother.
John
That would be me. Ask him if he remembers Chuck Hedden, Paul Masker, Gilbert delBosque or Dave Grunow for starters.

[BuddhaGirl]

123. Hey there 5thGenDemocrat

My husband says he doesn't know any of those guys - he was a jock and college preppie type but also a :smoke: LOL

[5thGenDemocrat]

130. You should probably DU mail me his name anyhow

I have a distinct feeling we know several of the same people. Lots of stoners at the Hill -- though not a very good football team under Dick Syring (i.e. while hubby was there). College preppy types were rarer -- but not unheard of.
Best to you both
John
Where did you go to high school?

[EstimatedProphet]

11. No, but Kate Capshaw did her student teaching there

47. What school did you go to?

Wondering if we went to the same school. RBHS?

[EstimatedProphet]

[ccjlld]

I'm a 1980 grad.

You might know him, he's on page 92 of the 1980 yearbook. Bottom of page, 3rd from the left, 1st name of Jeff.

[EstimatedProphet]

116. Sorry. Don't have a yearbook

I went to the RBHS webpage too, but it only has a few people listed on it-registered grads and all. Personally, I never registered.

[ccjlld]

120. Sent you a PM

to see if you know my brother. Cool to meet someone on DU from RBHS!

[lakemonster11]

12. No,

the biggest name to come out of my high school so far is Curtis Borchardt (NBA player). He was in the year ahead of me, though I didn't know him well---nice guy, 4.0 GPA, full ride to Stanford.

Of course, the first graduating class at my high school was in 1996 or so, so there hasn't been a lot of time for most of us to accomplish anything.

Adam West and Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas went to my college, though. Douglas was a good liberal---a champion of individual rights and environmentalism. He even used to lead "protest hikes" to try to protect our national parks. A quote from Wikipedia:

"The privacy and dignity of our citizens being whittled away by sometimes imperceptible steps. Taken individually, each step may be of little consequence. But when viewed as a whole, there begins to emerge a society quite unlike any we have seen -- a society in which government may intrude into the secret regions of a life. "

[El Fuego]

[tjwmason]

16. Not of whom I know.

But one would have thought that in the past 400 year they'd have produced somebody.

[CanuckAmok]

17. Linda Evangelista, and the guy who invented 1-900 # software.

Small world.

[mikeargo]

18. Funny you should mention Bob Smith...

That crazy loon that was our senator in NH. I was in high school with Dick Swett (he was two years ahead of me). Dick ran against Smith in 1996 and was called the winner by NBC, who later reversed its call. We were stuck with Smith for six years after that.

Jon Heder graduated from my old High School. (long after me)

At least I'm not my Dad though. He graduated from the same high school as John Ashcroft.

[5thGenDemocrat]

48. It could be worse (though, admittedly, not much)

My dad (and sarge43) went to the same high school as John List -- later of New Jersey, who killed his whole family back in the early 70's and then disappeared for, like, twenty years. His was the case that got "America's Most Wanted" noticed.

[alarimer]

37. Does Travis Tritt count?

Only a few years before me. Also Ty (forget his last name) from Trading Spaces and that Extreme whatever show- some home improvement with usually a big sob story. I don't watch that crap. Kris Benson (now of the NY Mets I believe) although he graduated several years after I did. Oh, one of those famous fishing show guys (Orlando Wilson or Roland Martin but I can't remember which). If my parents had bought a house in a different school district I might have gone to high school with Julia Roberts. Same county, same graduation year, different schools.

72. Tupac Shakur and Abdullah Nana

Abdullah is the kid who introduced John Walker Lindh to Islam.

I used to hang out with Abdullah at lunch. He was a nice kid, shy, unassuming... :shrug:

Some of my closest friends went to the same school as John Walker Lindh. :shrug: :shrug:

[sasquatch]

103. Was Tupac very intellegent?

[XemaSab]

124. Supposedly he was, yes

But my understanding is that gangs are like drugs. Once you get involved it's hard to turn back.

[Nikia]

74. Only in certain circles

We've had several female college DI athletes play major roles on successful teams. If you are a big Women's college basketball or volleyball fan, you might recognize them. Otherwise, not.

[GumboYaYa]

75. Lots of musicians...Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Brian Blade,

105. Yeah. "Bibleman."

At Edison High School he was Willie Upton. He was an asshole. He once drove up to my fast food drive up window. He never met my eye. He never said a word to me. He threw his money at me. Prick.

:eyes:

On a much nicer note, my mother went to school with Beau & Jeff Bridges. Venice High School.

[Frank Cannon]

113. My wife has worked with both of the Bridges boys.

Maclean, a taxi driver who won a final of a quiz show called Master Mind and a young, whizz-kid city trader who made millions in the commodities market, I think, owned a large string of race-horses, before going bankrupt and being incarcerated, after losing heavily on the horses; he went to the US, I think has paid back most if not all his debts, and has rebuilt himself a very good living. He has some good horses again now, I think, but he's older and wiser. Forget his name now.

My niece graduated a year behind the Raiders QB Kerry Collins.

[specimenfred1984]

127. Warren Beatty, Shirley MacClain, Sandra Bullock

129. AC Green, played for Lakers, went to my high school and college

Benson Tech in Portland, Oregon, and Oregon State University.

[SCDem]

133. Ben Harper

Redstone

[cassandra uprising]

143. Is that the precursor to the forum?

Where they'd lock you into a room for hours on end and not let you use the bathroom until you delved into the most disturbing realms of your psyche?

My sister and mother went through the forum, my mom got some good out it, but I think a lot of it is a bunch of malarchy. The forum paved the way to my sister's perpetual state of victim hood.

How's it going by the way?

:hi:

[Patiod]

147. Yikes! I lost a job because of "The Forum"

My crazy boss made all her employees go through it, and I refused, based on a horrible cult-like experience I had during an est "introductory meeting" (that another employer made me take).

Calling someone's religion (because that's what it was to her) "brainwashing" does not bode well for keeping one's job.

I thought the founder of est was from Philadelphia....

[Redstone]

156. Hey, great to hear from you. I trust you're enjoying married life.

I'm doing well, thanks for asking.

Yes, that's the one. I had a former friend who bought into it, and it turned him into an insufferable asshole. Even though he knew what a jerkoff that fraud "Werner Erhardt" was, having gone to high school with him.

Redstone

[distantearlywarning]

142. No major celebs, but several reality TV stars

The Bachelorette with Trista a few seasons back (the girl who married her bachelor on national TV in a very "Pepto-Bismol" wedding) - the guy she dumped for Ryan in the final episode, his name is Charlie Mahr. He went to my highschool and was in my class. I knew him fairly well, and he was a major dickhead in HS - jocky, bullying, arrogant, and belonged to a rich family who thought they owned the town. I was so, so pleased to see him humiliated by Trista on national TV (and believe me, she made the right choice!)

Also, there was a VH1 series on a while back called "Bands on the Run". There was a band named Soulcracker on that show, and I knew them. One of the members also graduated in my HS class.

[LaraMN]

149. Jessica Lange. She still vacations here.

I saw her once when I worked at a drug store, in high school.

[last_texas_dem]

150. Not that I know of
