[Dr. Francois]

Wow, all these cool athletes!
I could be wrong, cause I'm not the type to keep track of such things, but I think my high school is best at producing pasty white guys who's best memories usually involved cow tipping.

We did have Mike Patton of Mr. Bungle and Faith No More. (and the rest of Mr. Bungle too)

One friend of mine was like the 25th American killed in Iraq, back when were expecting it to be over any day.

Didn't Mr. Bungle have a song called "Everyone I Went To High School With Is Dead"?

He went to my school, but moved to Florida before graduating.

And to close the loop on this one, he dated the mother of my wife's high school classmate (while in south Florida)

Nobody from the years I was in HS have become famous yet, as far as I can tell. 14 years before my graduating class, Meg Tilly (actress) graduated from my HS.
