Anyone famous come from your town

Has anyone that is famous come out of your town or small city (think smaller than NY or Boston)?

Manchester NH is kinda lucky, we have had


1. Adam Sandler (Adam and I both had the same 1st grade teacher and now I have the same Vice Princible as he had Mr. Clemons. There is reference to Mr. Clemons in Billy Madison. Billy and his friends put a "Flaming bag of poop" on "Old Man Clemons" front porch)
And Manchester is also in alot of his movies, falling under varius names including
Mandrake Falls NH- In Mr. Deeds
Dukeberry- In 8 Crazy Nights

Never named but understood by street names and places- The audio Skit Whitey, This skit is also the premis for 8 Crazy Nights

2. Seth Myers (Currently on SNL)
3. Robert Frost
4. Former President Franklin Pierce
5. hmmm some guy who invents stuff.... his name esacpes me

Judge Reinhold -- think Beverly Hills Cop movies (the straight laced cop) and and The Santa Clause (the step-dad)

he graduated from Martin County High School (the "M" in SPAM)

we also had a couple of professional athletes from our area... Cleveland Gary, a football player, graduated from South Fork High School (the "S"), and Rusty Meecham, a baseball player, graduated from Martin Co.

there's also a semi-famous lawyer named Willie Gary who's offices are in Stuart.

if i think of any more i'll post them.

It's unfortunate that Dean is from Long Island, not Manch-vegas.

He attended South Side HS.

Dean Kamen was born in New York.
Robert Frost was born in California.
Franklin Pierce wasn't born in Manchester.
Adam Sandler was born in Brooklyn, NY.

Man, you're an idiot. Just don't talk anymore. I believe I've also proven that Manchester, NH is worthless.
