Evansville claims Bob Griese and Don Mattingly (sports), Ron Glass (actor on Barney Miller), Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor - Smallville) grew up about a mile from me (I know his Mom and saw him at her recent wedding. Didn't meet him, he was too busy avoiding pushy women).

Dulles (as in Dulles airport) was from here as well. I know there are others, but can't think of them now.

Oh, Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky and at age 7 moved to the county east of me and lived there until about 21 years old. He would come to Boonville Indiana to borrow law books from a lawyer there. it is possible that some of my ancestors may have known him or his family. I have come across some records which i still have to research more.
