Do you have any famous relatives?

My grandmothers brother was nominated for the nobel prize.- John Hubble
I cant prove that of course, as nobel does not release the nomination list until like 100 years after the deaths of everyone on it. Er, get back to me in like 120 years or so.

My sister got to be an extra and run out on the wharf screaming in the movie Orca: The Killer Whale starring Bo Derek. Shortly after when the movie "10" came out a 16 year old Chill was wondering why he wasn't on the wharf that day.

Well gee...they filmed "In the Heat of the Night"...the movie with Sidney Poiter in my hometown of Sparta Il in the '60's. It was supposed to be set in Mississippi, but the filmmakers thought the deep south wasn't ready to handle something like that. There were a lot of townspeople we knew as extras and I remember being in a crowd at night when they were filming on a dark street next to my grandparents house. The people that owned the International dealership were friends of my parents and their dealership was in it, and their daughter had a part as an extra.

And..my uncle is an engineer who invented some do-hickey on a tractor for International Harvestor and it's in the Smithsonian (He's in his 80's..it was a long time ago..)
