Omigosh -- you knew "Jovial Bob" way back when? I dunno how jovial he's feeling these days, though, after his recent lawsuit with Scholastic.If only you lived here in New York, we could kick back in a pub and swap stories. :)-- Nanaea

You know I have never met anyone who was famous. But my uncle went to school with Bob Dylan . Up in Hibbing, MN. And a friend from highschool was in a movie for like 5 mins. 5 mins short of his 10 mins of fame I guess! And a really dumb movie Drop dead gorgous(sp?) was filmed in and around my home town. Mont Rose is actually Rosemount. The directer or something is from Rosemount. There is a part of the movie where the girl is tap dancing down a road going to her trailer park. Well I used to travel that road all the time cause my best friend used to live in that trailer park. Not that it is something that exciting but when you dont normally see you home town in a film it was pretty cool. Even if the movie sucked.Diana / Gia Nadine

Jovial Bob, as campus Humorist Laureate, was a BMOC in those days.
Yers truly was a lowly fraternity pledge allowed to tag along to drinky-thons with my frat Big Brother (who as Ohio State student body pres, was also a BMOC). I remember Bob, but I garntee he wouldn't remember me (these gatherings were hardly the Inklings). But just being there and rubbing elbows was fun!
