I am from Port Charlotte, which developed in the early 1950's as a coastal retirement community. The following famous people who attended high school are John Hall, a placekicker for the Washington Redskins, Anthony Hargrove, a defensive end for the Buffalo Bills and Chris Demakes who is a lead singer and guitarist for the band "Less than Jake."

My town was hit by Hurricane Charley four years ago on Friday, August 13th and we are still facing some challenges today.

Tom Cruze,who`s real last name was Maypother.

My brother(a classmate) told me that he didn`t do well though,in Glen Ridge. Seemed to be picked on a lot.Where I grew up,kids were vicious,so I believe that.

Nobody to speak of hardly...just a bunch of itinerant musicians, and some TV judge named Brown. Oh yeah, and some actress who used to work with Bruce Willis... and some writer named Lightman.

I grew up in Woburn, Massachusetts.
I went to the Goodyear Elementary School which was named after Charles Goodyear who first vulcanised rubber.
Also, Eric Bogosian the actor, I didn't know him but I'd see him walking downtown a lot, he was 3 years younger than me.
And, my buddy Dave Robinson who went on to become the drummer for The Cars.
Anytime a British Naval ship would pull into Boston his mother who was English would have a big party for them at the house.
One time when I was stationed in Portland, Maine in the CG they played there and I called up his father Guy and got free tickets and back stage passes to the show.
