[QUOTE=Litoris] So, do we get a prize for this one? [/QUOTE] We do indeed. 😃 My Eric – actually I don’t know much about him personally. He has been playing clarinet with the MIT G&S Players for a really long time. He and his girlfriend (also pictured – she has been compared to Wednesday Addams) have played every show that G&S have written. I think the one I linked was their last. They’re big into SciFi. Their idea of a vacation is to go to a convention. In fact, as best as we can tell, there has only been one SciFi convention where an opera was performed. And the three of us (and some others pictured) performed it. ---

[QUOTE=psycat90] Hit! I went to elementary school with a Roger Allen. I only remember his name because I guess he was one of the first people I’d met with what sounded like ‘2 first names’ to me. And I sort of have a hit with NinetyWt’s list. My husband used to work with a Pat Coleman. My list John Mancini Frank Rizzi Steve Reynolds **April Showers** Mike Beninda John Ferguson Rosie Tagano [/QUOTE] Here’s the deal, I knew an April Showers… I think. Through a weird twist, I am unsure whether her name is April _Showers_ or April _Flowers_. Believe it or not, when I knew her, she was going to school for flower arranging and eventually became a florist, so her last name is mixed up and confused for me in that significance. Regardless, she married a friend of mine and lost that last name, anyways. She was a very sunny and sweet girl- A very petite, drop dead beautiful, ebullient, blonde. Probably around 33, now. ---

No definate hits yet for me, but I’ve taught so many classes and I don’t remember human names very much. Now, if the list includes dog breeds, I might recognise some stuff! Anybody know any of these folks? Christine Savage Mike Finneren Karen Murri Terry Firlit Chris Gacsi Lenna Morgan ---
