The race thread got me thinking, does anyone have a famous relative or a kinda famous friend? This guy is my Great great uncle. I'm pretty sure he killed a lot of people, being a dictator and all, but he seems to be a Greek war hero. Family legend states that he was assasinated rather than dying of illness. Another family member claims to have met the killers in what is a seemingly plausible way, but I have my doubts. |

Not myself, that I know of. However, Pat Roach's (Bomber in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet) grandson is the cousin to my girlfriend.

Not at all. I suppose the closest thing we have is that my cousin is a fairly well known radio personality in the Florida Keys and North Carolina on country stations.
Other than that, a very close friend of the family's son is an NFL referee. I wouldn't call that famous, though.

My great uncle is 60's/70's to present Pop music singer Frankie Valli of 'Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons'.
Too lazy to post a picture, but most of you probably have heard his stuff before, and don't even know it. I'm sick of the guy, and the hooplah by now.

Not famous, but my dad got a Pulitzer prize in 2004. He's also published a book and has a deal in place to write another one.

I know of him..."Walk Like A Man" "Rag Doll", and He and his group are the inspiration of the Broadway act "Jersey Boys". My Great Uncle is Ex-Braves, Ex-Cardinals Pitcher John Smoltz' God-Father. |
