Bruce Springsteen's sister Pam went to my high school. She was a grade younger, but I had a class with her.

Joe Dumars of the Detroit Pistons lives here in Natchitoches,La. it’s his hometown that’s where he’s from,Me and my brother asked him if it was ok to take a pic with him and said “no pics or autographs”I told him that’s good I hate the Detroit Pistons anyway..haha!!!

Also, I’ve met Kirk Gibson(My favorite baseball player)He”s from Detroit,Mi. Coolest guy I ever met!! I asked him what was it like in 1984 when you hit that home run during the World Series against the San Diego Padres?? He said jokingly “I had to hit a homerun or Sparky Anderson would kick me in the nuts!!” Haha!! That was a great year man I wish there was a time machine.

Bruce Boxleitner and for 2 years,
Dave Kingman went to my high school. I lived a block away from Liz Glazowski.

Jessica Hahn
Former NY Ranger Rob O'Gara. Went to school with his father, who was crazy into hockey.

Roy Demeo is my mother’s 2nd cousin,That guy was truly evil man!! His motto was “no body no murder” he would bring a guy to his warehouse shoot him in the head and then hang him upside down in a bathroom to drain all the blood out of his body then chop him up in pieces.He was called the “Gambino Chopper”

Benjamin Orr
Jim Lovell
Alan Ruck
Ransom Olds
Bill Hufsey

And oddly enough wiz kalifa was born here.

That’s it!

We don’t have too many in our town.
Katharine Hepburn used to rent a home in my town many years ago.
Joe Pesci lives a few miles away.

My NJ office is in Asbury Park so sometimes I’ll see Springsteen, Bon Jovi and even Max Weinberg.

That's for a different thread. It was so long ago, the senior class pictures were still black & white.

Merv Griffin, Kris Kristofferson, Alicia Silverstein (Clueless) and Peter Thiel (co founder of PayPal) also all went to my high school.

Yeah, I forgot all about the DeMeos until a couple years ago when I saw the movie "The Iceman" where he was played by Ray Liotta. Then I read all about his criminal escapades on Wikipedia. Chilling.

My mother told all kinds of stuff about him and none of it was good.We saw the film and my mother told me ray liotta was the wrong guy to describe Roy and his crimes it was way worse than that.The Gambino family relied on Roy when someone had to disappear.

Here’s another pic of the Chief,Hes good friends with my both my brothers.When he comes to visit they all go out to dinner together and they play a few games of basketball.I asked my brother what was it like trying to take a jump shot against the Chief?ha! He said every shot he tries to take or make the Chief blocks it or takes the ball away..Haha!!! A true Legend man!!

Ain't got nobody famous around these parts unless you count Emma down at the diner. She had a chicken that only had 1 leg. Poor thing would dance around all day and folks got pretty worked up over it. Then there is Bruce down by the river. His old hound ran off and got all the way to Chiquwa county before they found him.
