[SicEmBaylor]

Are we talking about high school or college or anything?

I guess it doesn't matter, in any case my answer is the same.
I honestly can't think of anyone famous that I've gone to college with.

[proud gonzo]

nobody famous for me yet, but my parents went to college with Reba

[mdklatt]

Someone I went to HS with is a semi-famous movie director.

It's a pity she's gone all Texas on her show.

[SoonerGirl06]

Oh yeah... David Tollison. I think he went onto play for the Toronto Bluejays.

We went to the same high school.

[Salt City Sooner]

Went to Hutch JUCO (I was equipment mgr. for the football team) w/ Barry Sanders' older brother Byron, who was a heck of a back in his own right. He blew out his knee early in his soph. year, rehabbed it, & ended up going to Northwestern, where he had back to back 1,000 yard seasons (keep in mind, this was the late 80's when they really stunk). One of the nicest guys I've ever met.

For you OU hoopniks, I also had a couple of classes with Tyrone Jones while he was here (he was a year behind me, IIRC).

[olevetonahill]

He's most noteworthy for being The Indian in the Cupboard and the monk dude in Kull the Conqueror.

I work with Damon and Eric Pope. Both are very nice, laid back guys.

[royalfan5]

I could make an argument for myself as being the most famous person I went to school with, but that's mostly because I graduated with a class of 14 in High School, and went to a small college, and I'm not that old yet so I have no real connection to anyone notable as of yet.

Kelly Garrison who competed in gymnastic at the Olympics. I went to middle school with her. Very sweet girl. She worked hard. I have a picture of her at on of my slumber parties.

no I will not post it.

[C&CDean]

I went to school with Leon and Leona Crowe. Their dad was a doctor. Neither one is famous, but they were the first/only black kids in the whole school.

Other than that, I guess it'd have to be Jim Arneson (NFL) back when the Cardinals were still in St. Louis.

[SicEmBaylor]

A chick who got nekkid for a "Girls Of Texas" Spread in Playboy, mid-60s.

Was she everything you thought she would be?

Alison Bales

[BigRedJed]

Darren Dreifort was a year behind me and his brother was a year ahead of me...
And his brother was behind me. I didn't really go to HS with anyone famous, just several people who were immediate family members of famous people. Dreifort's brother, Antoine Carr's twin younger brothers, a girl that married Harvey Grant. Plus, Kirstie Alley's older sister was my frosh biology teacher.

All-time celebs that went to my HS: Carr (Wichita State and a long, long NBA career) Darnell Valentine (KU and Portland Trailblazers), Dreifort, and BTK (serial killer Dennis Rader). Am I missing anyone, Cam?

Yais, she was, and more.
She was a senior when I was a lowly soph. She was a cheerleader, a naturally beautiful girl; tall, dark auburn hair, and super nice. Would often compliment me on my trumpet work at the games. I could only melt when she spoke to me.
I was really surprised that she posed, but I found out later she really needed the bux.
Today, she's almost 67 and has had a successful career as a magician and mystic, quite legit, with the man she married. Still lovely.
Ahhhhh, Frances, thou wert the object of my adoration, unbeknownst to thee.

LF
Still a lowly soph in so many, many, ways.

Not that I can think of. That pretty much sums up the life and crimes of WHHS.

[Salt City Sooner]

Not quite as famous, but Heights' Aubrey Sherrod was a darn good 2 guard for WSU back in the day, & a McDonald's AA in '81 (game was played at the Roundhouse, some guy named Jordan was in that tilt too). He was a 2nd round pick of the Bulls back in '85 & one of the smoothest stroking lefties I've ever seen.

[JohnnyMack]

Kindergarten with Vince Vaughn.

I sat by him at lunch last week. That count for anything?

[JohnnyMack]

I don't think I went to school with anyone super famous.

The best I have is:

Jerry Crafts - OL for the Buffalo Bills
Spencer Tillman

I always forget you're a TEE like myself.

My brother played guard on the line that Spencer ran behind.

But to answer the question as to the most famous person from my High School, it'd be you.

















































Not really, just wanted to make you feel good for a second.

[BigRedJed]

There's no doubt about Aubrey. I thought of him, but decided not to post becuase he really only achieved notoriety at WSU, during their glory days. I figured no one would know who he was, but would probably recognize the other names. At the time Sherrod was overshadowed by Carr, Cliff Levingston and Greg Dreiling. Later, still with the Shockers, he was overshadowed by Xavier McDaniel.

Damn, typing that once again reminded me of what an incredible ****ing lineup the Shocks had in the late 70s and early 80s.

BTW, if the three point line had been in place during his career, he would have had UNBELIEVABLE numbers.

Crap that was a great lineup for the Shocks.

[BigRedJed]

Of course, unbelievable lineups often lead to probation...

Shocks have always been my favorite in-state team (I was born in Wichita). I would have LOVED to have seen what that 25-3 team would've done had they been allowed to go to the dance. The Bookends, X, Sherrod, James Gibbs.....the good 'ol days. Unfortunately, Gene was more than a tad, ahem, "overzealous", shall we say, in putting that together.

[okiecitysooner]

I didn't go to school with any famous person, but my Mom went to school with Sheb Wooley (Purple people eater) and Roger Miller.

[AllAboutThe'O']

Probably the most famous person in my graduating class was Marquis Riley, a multi-sport star who was a baseball standout at the University of Central Arkansas and even had a brief - very brief - cup of coffee with the California Angels in 1993.

[batonrougesooner]

Clendon Thomas taught my Sunday School class while I was in high school. Great guy.

I hardly appreciated exactly who he was as a football player then. My dad told me he used to be "a big time player for OU". I lacked the perspective at that time to really understand exactly how big.

I was still at the elementary school when Sellers did his deed. Across the street from the high school if I remember correctly. Scarry dude.

I remember Stell's brother wearing his OB jersey to school after the 85 NC. We thought he was cool.
