What Famous Person is from your Hometown
What famous person is from or lived in your hometown. Keep it to your own town (not a neighboring town), because if not we will have a very long list of people from all over your state.
Mine would be Thomas Welch. He moved to Vineland and invited grape juice (non-alcoholic). He is also buried here too. What is your story.
Mike Trout was also born in Vineland.

Me! Just kidding. Simsbury, CT: Sigourney Weaver, Novelist Jennifer Weiner, Martin Luther King, Jr worked on a tobacco farm here in town in his youth. We've been temporary home to many figure skaters in training (Oksana Baiul, Sasha Cohen, Michelle Kwan). And my favorite, our main man, Ernie Sabella (actor, voice of Pumbaa) lives here currently. I haven't run into him yet, but I am ever hopeful. Hakuna Matata!

Winston-Salem, NC is my hometown!
The most famous person from my high school (which would in turn make him from my town) is NBA player Chris Paul.
Other sports notables - Josh Howard (NBA), MLB players Don Cardwell, Mark Grace and Dustin Ackley, NASCAR owner Richard Childress (and he has a FANTASTIC winery there as well), and sportscasters Howard Cosell and Stuart Scott.
Entertainers - Ben Folds, Jackée Harry, Maya Angelou, George Hamilton IV, and most impressively to me - Jennifer Ehle! Funny, she's British, right? Well, she was born in the exact same hospital as I was, a little over two weeks after me. Her father is longstanding professor at the NC School of the Arts.

Most impressive to me, too! I had no idea she was born in the US, let alone so close to you. To think, you could have been starring in P & P with Colin Firth, had things gone a little differently.

Rita, it's actually funny you posted this because I was just reading about Thomas Welch recently in an article about Vineland. Some really interesting history there & surrounding areas. I'm actually living one town over right now in Pittsgrove.

Pat Summit grew up just down the road from us, though before I was born. I went to school with John Rich (Big & Rich), however being 6 years younger, I doubt we ever spoke. I do fondly remember him singing "When the Rolls Are Served up Yonder" and "I Drank a Sprite" (to the tune of "I Saw the Light") in chapel, though.

My hometown of Elk Snout--er, Elk River, Minnesota, has produced four or five NHL players, the only one of which I can remember the name is Joel Otto (we went to high school together). Also went to high school with Dave Mordal, a comedien who was on Last Comic Standing twice.
I think that's it.
