Are you related to anyone famous?

Nope, not related but I did work in a Fast Food restaraunt in High School. Beau Bridges came in and although I could barely speak, I did take his order and got his autograph before my knees buckled.... I also worked in a bank in the late 70's and saw Dudley Moore and his girlfriend at the time (Susan Anton?)..Went to school with Tai Babalonia (the ice skater), didn't know her though as she was only there for one year!!......Carole

Not sure if this counts but.....

I'm related to Martha Washington's first husband, Daniel Park Custis. His cousin, Steven Custis, married a relative of mine. In some weird way, does this make me part of the family to our founding father?

WOW! What fun reading all of this.

I have no famous relatives, but my dad raced stock cars with Mario Andretti when he was just starting out on the racing circuit. They used to keep their race cars in my grand father's barn. They used to raise heII together by....hold your breath...haning cats upsdie down and burning them! YUCK! When Mario went bigger, my dad stayed racing with the little guys because he wanted to stay close to home with his family!

I forgot these two little stories. Cybil Shepard rode on the back of my dad's motorcycle in Daytona Beach a long time ago--back in the late sixties. My grandfather met President Kennedy at Cape Canaveral after it was completed. My grandfather was president of the Plumbers Union that worked at the Cape. We have a beautiful picture of him shaking his hand.

My parents are die hard Republicans, but that pic is hanging proudly in their office.
