    Sadly, I do not. Her sister is actually prettier IMO. We used to go to the same rollerskating parties too. Good times :lol:


    Would you happen to have any pictures from the rollerskating endeavors? :corn:
    My brother might. She was enthralled with my tits and bothered that mine were bigger than hers. I do remember that :lol:
    This story is cool. Plus, she still talks about her boobs (or lack thereof). :lol: I was a regular watcher of Regis and Kelly working second shift. :oops: Don't judge. :lol:

    I went to HS with Kelly Ripa. She was in my older brother's grade. I was more friendly with her sister Linda. Swam at their house a few times. Didn't care for either of them much :lol:

    Ali Gorman (health and medical reporter for the local news station) went to my school too. I don't remember her :oops:

    Can't think of anyone else


    Oh and comeback girl...if I went to the same school as you and Kelly Ripa...boob size issue aside...You'd be the one I'd be trying to get a glimpse of at those pool parties! (Please forward all photos c/o Bindy, Australia)

    She's always been obsessed by her boob size :lol: I watch it too on my days off. I like TV Kelly better than real-life Kelly. Or maybe she just got nicer as an adult. She's always been pretty and she knew it, but not in a nice way.

    Yeah I heard he was a nutter.... Back then it was Christian Brothers teaching there with limited normal teachers. Apparently he jumped out of a window, and may have even been expelled....

    There is an autographed photo circa lethal weapon one of him displayed in the library.... Pretty cool to have him there.... I have read a few responses, do I have the most famous person?

    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    None at my school, at least in the traditional sense of being 'famous', I guess. I did have a friend that I was on the high school dance team with who went on to graduate number ONE in her entire class at UNC-CH (my alma mater ;) ), and then she went to Harvard Law and moved to Amsterdam for several years after that. That makes her famous in my mind. :mrgreen: And last I heard, she was going for her PhD in psychology. (oddly enough, her younger sister became a stripper in Myrtle Beach, SC...can't imagine the dynamics there, hard to compete with that).
