I went to school with Dia Framptom sister that was on the Voice

I went High School with the video guy for the Piano Guys
(His child played Baby Jesus in their Christmas video)

You know, ask me a year ago and I could have told you. Today I can't remember at all. LOL I know several of our high school alumni went on to do big things but I can't remember exactly who did what. I do know that one of my friends who graduated with me has a Contemporary Christian band that is doing pretty well. They aren't super popular but I heard their song on the radio. :)

Here in the town I live in now we've had a few. Shaun Hill, who I guess now plays for the Rams, graduated from high school here. He is pretty active in our community still and hosts a football camp each year for the boys. My son went last year, and, of course, was the one Shaun had to stop from jumping off the back of the bleachers. LOL My daughter informed me today that our middle school boy's PE teacher used to play in the NFL as well. I think she said his last name is Polen. Not sure. We've had several people from this town on the Jerry Springer show. Does that make them famous? HA! LOL

Oh and my grandmother is Shirley Temple.








:p
Not THAT Shirley Temple though. lol She was constantly asked if she was THE Shirley Temple after she got married. It totally didn't help that she was the right age, looked sort of like her and also had black curly hair.

Though speaking off grandmothers...

My step-dad's mom went to school with Elvis and said he was totally gross and no one liked him. She said he had HORRIBLE acne and he would put so much grease in his hair that you could see it drip off. Plus he apparently smelled really bad.

And my mom's mom was arrested with some friends when she was 17 for breaking into his (Elvis) backyard and refusing to leave his pool.

My second cousin is an up and coming Nascar driver, but we didn't go to school together and he is an K list celebrity if you ask me.

I went to HS with Carl Edwards (the Nascar driver).

I got nothin'. :P

I went to high school with Aaron Ruell who played Kip in Napoleon Dynamite. We had a religious class together. One of my friends was madly in love with him but I never knew him that well. His mother was awesome, though!

I also took a gymnastics class with the daughter of Fezzik from Princess Bride. They lived in a nearby mountain community until his passing several years ago.

On a side note, one my friend's uncle dated and was once engaged to Stephanie Meyer. This was before the whole Twilight thing, of course.

I went to law school with a guy who later went on to be a pretty well-known politician -- Barak Obama. :D

That's so neat Dawn!

That's pretty cool awesome!

wow, dawn!

I don't think anyone from any of my schools became famous (that I know of anyway haha).

Conway Twitty (old time country haha) is a cousin on my mom's side. His actual name is Harold Jenkins and his family always came to our Jenkin's family reunions in Mississippi.

I LOVE Conway! That's pretty awesome! I remember when he passed away, my granny loved him too, she was very upset.

I love Conway, too! That's very cool, Becca!

there's an olympic volleyball player who went to my high school and helped the US win gold. he was a few years older, but i knew his sister.

also, not a classmate, but katie holmes grew up nearby. i used to live 2 houses down from her sister (and my ex still does).

Not really anyone...the closest thing would be classmates who went to the Swayze School of Dance...it was the local dance studio, and as Patrick was just starting to get well-known (his Outsiders days), it was all they could talk about. He wasn't around all that much after that point, but it sure made a lot of us wish that we'd been taking dance lessons :D

When I was a kid, I met Conway in a grocery store! :D I'd gone to his concert with my grandmother and uncle, and on the way home, we saw his tour bus in the parking lot of a grocery store. So, my uncle pulled over, we went inside, and he was just walking around in the frozen food section. Lol!

I got him to sign a photo for me, which I still have. He was really sweet and nice, especially considering we were kinda stalking him!

That's cool! Did katie holmes ever go to her house?

Cool! My husband met Garth Brooks in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Yukon (his hometown) before he became super-famous...he was singing much smaller gigs back then and apparently still doing his own shopping :D

she did, but i only ever heard about it later from neighbors. apparently, i'm not a very good stalker. LOL
