[bumpncarstereo 10+ year member]

noone famous from my school that i can think of off hand, closest i can come is that bill pullman (president in independance day) is from a town about 20 minutes away from where my parents live (hornell) and my buddies mom knew/knows his brother.

a guy i work with that has been playing hockey for like 19 years, knows and is friends with Brian Gionta. who, if you follow hockey (i dont but i hear enough about every sport at work), is on the olympic team this year

i believe the guy who founded griffen oil (sugarcreek stores chain) was from nunda. and there is a company called once again nutbutter (organic peanut butter) that is pretty big

No women ever went to the moon //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

But that reminds me - when I checked Wikipedia, it said that Chris Kraft was a VT grad - he was NASA's first flight controller and oversaw Alan Shepard's first flight and several of the moon landings.

Does guilt by association count?

My mom taught high school in the 60s here locally. During her tenure there she taught both Terry Bradshaw (obviously of Steelers fame) and Joe Ferguson (threw for the Bills for lots of years then went to the Lions then the Bucs before finally retiring)

Ferguson and Mom got tight while he was in high school and afterwards it never fell off. I see him a minimum of every Christmas. He brings Mom poinsettias (sp?) and she bakes him chocolate chip / pecan cookies. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
