Orvil redinbaucker is from indiana...so is John Melloncamp (but he's from the south part...) and umm Former President William Henry Harrison was from indiana...
He fought the battle of tippecanoe 5 minutes from my house! Anyone who knows indiana history knows about the battle of fallen timbers (or show if you took 4th grade history) and like yah battle of fallen timbers is in my home town... Techumseh and the prophet are from around here also... I think some race car people are from indiana... And alot of famous basketball types are from indiana (Shawn kemp is i think...so is larry bird) I cant think of any more. |

Not that I care about the famous or anything, but two people from Baltimore that I think are great are John Waters and Anne Tyler. Okay, so Waters' movies are pretty odd but it's fun to watch them just to see familiar neighborhoods, and hey, he was on the Simpsons, so there's fame for you. Anne Tyler's novels are always strongly based in Baltimore, and she often mentions places I've been to. She lives a block away from where I went to High School, but she's pretty much a hermit, so we never saw her.

This makes me feel all special.
Timothy McVeigh, although he wasn't from here, he planned all of his evil doings in a hotel in Kingman. Also, this kid who shot some other kids came from here. I don't know if it makes him famous, but if it was on the news, then it must be worth something! |

Well, L. Frank Baum, the guy who wrote wizard of oz, was from valparaiso, which is in nw indiana and incidentally has a new team this year.
Gene Shepard (I think that's his name) who wrote A Christmas Story("you're gonna shoot your eye out, you're gonna shoot your eye out") grew up in Hammond. The name of the town in the movie is Hohman, Indiana, which is really Hammond. One of the main thoroughfares in Hammond is Hohman Avenue. Hey, I live on Hohman Avenue!! |

Both a someone who hosts Survivor (never watched it) and the person who founded Voicestream actually came from my school here in Bellevue, WA. Except Voicestream isn't sponsoring us. (Hopefully that's "isn't sponsoring us _yet_".)
