    Robert Buckley - Same year as me yet I never knew him or had him in my classes. I remember seeing Varsity Blues opening weekend in senior year and he went with some of his friend to the same showing.
    Kevin Manwarren - Same year as above but knew him and was in a few classes I had. He's in some comedy troup called Dickheads and been in a few indie bands like Hi Ho Silver Oh. He was in an episode of US of Tara and did some commercials. He was that guy in that Super Bowl commercial with Faith Hill a few years ago and that Taco Bell as with stuff falling on him.

    This guy went to my high school - kind of a super genius. Director of the National Institutes of Health, head of the Human Genome Project. He talks a lot about his science teacher who was so inspirational. I had the same teacher and I was a moron in the class.

    Simon Fraser University (SFU).
    Mostly everyone "famous" who went there are big league Canadian politicians, so most of you wouldn't know them (and the majority of them are, of course, assholes, haha). Plus a bunch of athletes, none of whose names I remember, even though some of you might, lol. But i guess the most famous of all is Terry Fox.
