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

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

Was Kelly Ripa from Berlin, NJ? If so what HS? Edgewood?(now called Winslow Twp.)

Yep - grew up in Berlin Borough. We went to Eastern Regional High School in Voorhees. I think Berlin Township went to Edgewood or Overbrook.

I went to Roger Ludlowe HS in Fairfield, CT. These are the two famous alums that I know about.

Julius Boros
He was a professional golfer who won 18 times on the PGA Tour including 3 major titles (1952 U.S. Open, 1963 U.S. Open, 1968 PGA). He still ranks as the oldest man to win a major tournament. He was 48 when he won the PGA.

Charles Nagy
He was a major league pitcher from 1990 to 2003, mostly with the Cleveland Indians. He started the 1996 All-Star Game for the American League. He pitched in the 1995 and 1997 World Series for the Indians, who lost to Atlanta in 1995 and Florida in 1997. He won 129 games during his MLB career. He is currently the pitching coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Too bad that my first cousin Rebecca isn't a 10C member. She graduated from Roosevelt HS in Seattle...alma mater of none other than Mike McCready.

I went to an all girls school so a lot of professional dancers/model/actresses that are making a good living but not "famous".

Bringing one up from the way back. Fun to read.

My school is pretty lame. It has over doubled in size in the 18 years since I graduated. The only person I know that had any sort of famous success is John (Johnzo) West. He is a singer and guitar player.

He went on and performed with several bands/musicians including Dickey Betts (of the Allman Brothers), Buddy Guy, The Animals, Patti Smith, Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus. Currently, he has his own band and is also the lead guitarist for Eric Burden and the Animals.

But my dad's high school in Brooklyn produced a lot of famous people.
He went to school with RBG
And later on there Was Larry David and Chuck Schumer among others.

Was talking to my mom the other day and she mentioned something pretty cool. She went to Upper Darby High School outside of philly and Jim Croce was in her homeroom in 11th grade (which I'm guessing was late 50's/early 60's). Just thought that was cool.

Interesting thread I looked up my school online. Wootton HS in Rockville, MD.
