My dad went to high school with a guy named Ronald McDonald.
Ronald McDonald has never been back to a high school reunion.

I'm assuming your dad's about the same age as my dad, so the persona wasn't probably around when Ronald's parents named him.
However, my dad went to school with a guy named Richard Richards. Why would a parent do that?
I also went to school with kid named Bond, James Bond. However, he goes by Jimmy.

I think you're right. In fact, I think Ronald McDonald had just been introduced.
Still, what a name to give a kid. What would possess a parent to do that?
(Almost as bad as Candace Bahr, who went to my high school.)

we have a friend whose dentist was named Dr. Pain.
Apparently the bedside manner made up for the name.
BTW, what pediatrician would you take your kid to other than Dr. Gentle?

Don Miller (one of Notre Dame's Four Horsemen)
Gene Derricotte: one of the first African-American players at Michigan, and still the holder of some punt/kick return records
Chad Billingsley: current SP for the Dodgers, and according to Tim Kurkjian on ESPN.com this morning, the best pitcher in the NL outside of Johan Santana |

That is true. http://www.genito-urinary-surgeons.com/physicians.shtml#tapper
Toledo also is (or at least was in the late 1990s) home to Richard Stiff (the maintenance manager at the National City Bank building) and a realtor named Richard Curley. |

Meet Dr. John Thomas Wei - part of the University of Michigan's health system.
Pronounced like Nintendo "Wii"
Guess what Dr Wei's specialty is...

The man works in an area where there will always be a need for. Because if that ain't working right, or if there's some pain when the stream is going, then something is wrong.

I was hoping his specialty was "created the Nintendo Wii."

THORPE WEBER, 1967 graduate of Joplin High School in Joplin Missouri.
Although heavily recruited U of Kentucky and UCLA, Weber (6-7, 235 pound, left handed) went on to play BASKETBALL at Vanderbilt for three years (in those years freshmen were NOT elgible for varsity). Weber (a senior VP in banking, last I heard), an All-American, graduated in 1971 with a BA in psychology. He was drafted into the 17-team NBA as a 4th round (in those days the draft typically went about 12-15 rounds) selection by Red Auerbach's Boston Celtics. Weber was also drafted in the rival ABA (American Basketball Assoication) third round by the Memphis Pros.
Thorpe Weber played for 8 seasons in the ABA competing with many solid players including another good basketball player born in 1949 who has an extremely close connection with Miami University's top basketball player of the 1990s. Weber was a cut/slash player, very good rebounder for his size, and good 15-18 foot shooter. He has been compared to Kevin McHale. Weber's first-year salary was $30,000 (probably about $200K in today's dollars). For a few years the ABA challenged the NBA. But TV-enhanced and other revenues for professional basketball were much less iin those days than they've been over the past 25 years. Also, the overseas opportunities for USA basketball players in the early 1970s were very limited compared to today. Thus, a lot of very high quality college basketball players from the 1970s didn't have the opportunity to have professional basketball careers...many more graduated in those days and advanced into business and other professional careers...with the exception of many former UC player who moved into fast-food or jail. |

also, and i hate to write this but it is absolutely true, laxdad did his residency with an OB/GYN attending in northern Virginia named Dr. Harry Beaver. His vanity plate was BVR DR.  |

| Hey Chris W.....who is our most famous alumni from good ol' Mariemont HS in Cincinnati? We had some great college football players and a current General (Jeff Foley) in the Pentagon (who threw out the first pitch at a Red's game last year), but I can't think of any professional athletes, can you? |

Wasn't our own Alex Sulfsted (Bengals, Redskins) a Mariemont alum? My brother was the athletic trainer over there for a time, and I could've sworn he said Alex was one of his guys.
