Also. Jack Kevorkian went to Pontiac Central :)
And for those that dont know who he is
Quote:

Jack Kevorkian, M.D. (born Pontiac, Michigan, May 20, 1928) is a controversial American pathologist. He is most noted for publicly championing a terminal patient's "right to die" and claims to have assisted at least 130 patients to that end. He is famous for his quotation, "dying is not a crime." Imprisoned in 1999, he is serving a 10 to 25 year prison sentence for second-degree murder in the 1998 poisoning of Thomas Youk, 52, of Oakland County, Michigan. Kevorkian is terminally ill and on 13 December 2006 authorities announced Kevorkian will be released from prison on 1 June 2007.
