a lot of friends who went there. Oddly enough, my longest conversation with him was at the Greenville High School prom our senior year. We were both invited by our respective dates.
Wow, that was a looonnnggg time ago.
Paul used to do the morning announcements at WHHS, and he always did the Ben Stein monotone voice on purpose, even when they were playing for the state championship in basketball.
"Come out tonight and see our Generals take on Dreher in the state championship contest at 8 pm. (Bueller?)"

played blackjack w/ the Amazing Kreskin & Mugsy Bogues (didn't realize either until after they left the table)
Skied w/ Glen Plake once...i might be reaching here w/ the whole 'famous' thing...maybe
Ran into Ben Folds @ the Nashville Symphony...i totally dweebed out.
hung out w/ singer/musician Josh Ritter (& band) several times...ok, getting kinda obscure w/ that one. Unless you're in Ireland - he's almost rockstar status there...
