    I believe this has been brought up before, but I was just interested in people that went to BBS members' high school.

    Mine:
    Buddy Dial (my Freshman and Sophomore School)
    Lucille Ball (Junior and Senior Year)
    Roger Tory Peterson
    Natalie Merchant



    No athletes, which sucks. :(

    I moved to Indiana for my last 2.5 years of high school, and Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin are alums.

    I'd mention Shannon Hoon, too, but he sucks horribly and orphaned a child because he couldn't say no to the needle. Hoon actually died about three days before my first day at this high school.

    Not really anyone famous. I went to high school with Brandon Jones, the WR for the Tennessee Titans. Um, also, this guy that played CB in the NFL for a few years went to my high school several years before I was that old...I think his name was Ramos McDonald. I can't really think of anyone else that pops into my head at the moment.

    I'm guessing you're from Sealsby. :D


    For anyone that's wondering, Roger Tory Peterson is some famous bird watcher/nature enthusiast guy. He wrote a bunch of bird books.

    Jersey Village(I'm guessing) seems to have some college-level players every year. I'm surprised they haven't had an NFLer yet.


    Who's the player?

    Okay. I remember hearing he was from Texas.


    I thought that Ramonce Taylor was the one that was from Jersey Village, though? :p

    Yes, Silsbee. Population 2,300 or so.

    I remember my senior year of high school.. I saw Mark Henry walking in the parking lot, it was the middle of summer and it was scorching outside, so I offered him a lift to his car. I figured it was the least I could do. The man used to be a HERO in our town. Everybody loved him, but after he came up lame at the olympics and then became a sexual deviant on national TV for the WWF, everybody shunned him. Anyway, when he got in my truck (an old 1989 4x4 Chevy Blazer) the damn thing nearly tipped over, this dude is MASSIVE.

    Strake Jesuit -- really, we had more famous parents than we have alumni -- Rudy T, Calvin Murphy, Jim Adler. I'm sure there are some more famous folks from there, but off the top of my head, Jake Voskuhl is the most famous. There's also Webster Smith, the coast guard cadet involved in the recent court martial over rape allegations.
