Mulan is my mom.
My husband Steve went to school with Sean Young, he said she was crazy.
Michael Boatman was staying at the Grand Californian the same time we were last year. Saw him with his family at the pool. (Arlis and Spin City actor)
Steve and I saw an actor at Threadgills in Austin once. Can't remember his name.

My husband is direct descendant of--------------
Francis Scott Key
So I guess that makes Him ( TRUE BLUE ) blood
I skated with Bobby Orr at his hockey camp when I was 12
One of my fraternity brothers went out with a girl that turned up in Playboy's 30 Anniversary edition as a runner-up
My Great(12th)-grandfather came over on the Mayflower (Hopkins)
I caught a foul ball hit by Spud Web (Texas Rangers I think) at a Red Sox game
I am also a direct descendant of Roger Conant, the founder of Salem MA. There is a statue of him there. I haven't seen it, in person, but I have a photo of it. He was a nasty fellow, a staunch Puritan and persecutor of anyone who didn't see things as he saw them. His 4th great granddaughter was my great great grandmother, who was a Quaker. Oh, he would be turning over in his grave over that one. The Puritans hated the Quakers.
There are a few other pretty nasty clergymen, who were well known in their time. The "divine" Jonathan Edwards is another of my ancestors. That really is what they called him too. What a monster he was! His daughter married Aaron Burr.
I own the actual axe that George Washington used to chop down his father's cherry tree. It is an antique now, and probably worth a lot of money. I had to have the handle replaced several times over the years. I had to have the head replaced twice. Otherwise, it's still in very good shape!

I'm related to the famous Alan Feuerbacher.
The Kevin Bacon Game:
My good friend's best friend was the twin sister of the guy who doubled for Kevin Bacon in Footloose. Sadly, AIDS took him in 1991 (the double, not Kevin Bacon).
