    So my bro's got this friend from highschool... the kid comes over all the time... i hang out with them now and then, become pretty good friends with the guy. Guy's name is Andy Wentz. His brother runs off with some of his buddies and starts this band... Fallout Boy. I don't care much for 'em but that's my first story lol.

    Second, great-grandfather designed the blast doors for NORAD. Kinda funny that he had to keep a mountain a secret for so long xD.

    Third... well I doubt anyone knows about the company Draper Labs but my uncle/godfather is the President, so possibly famous... if you are in to engineering and bio medical stuff lol.

    I see david wheater (middlesbrough defender/ future england defender) all the time he lives on our estate, and richie smallwood (boro midfielder) lives around the corner from me (not quite famous yet but within two years he'll be a household name in the UK) I knew mo mowlem MP before she sadly passed away also...
    and when I was younger I met Kriss Akabusi the athlete, he came and visited our regiment (his old army regiment) when we were in training..
    also met jennifer capriati the usa tennis player at wimbledon whilst doing gaurd duty.
    and used to have a kickabout with tony mowbray (ex boro player/manager now) every sunday when I was a kid (he always stopped on the way to the shops and played footy with us .. he was a hero of ours )

    My dad is good friends with the Manager for the Kansas City Royals... and he's also my name-sake.

    Trey Hillman in case you're wondering who that is.

    I know most of the Actors from Napoleon Dynamite. They are all from my home town in Preston ID and I also used to substitute teach at the high school where the movie was filmed.
