Who have you known with a famous name

[Jim Franklin]

beside our John Kennedy, George Wallace and David McClung?

As a suit salesman at JCPENNEYS I had customers by the names of Jeff Chandler, Charlie Daniels and Mohammed Ali. Also had a regular with the last name of Lincoln whom I always addressed him as "Mr. President" to which he addressed me as "Mr. Postmaster."

James Franklin was the name of Ben Franklin's older brother to whom he was apprenticed in the printing business in Boston.

[Jim Chabot]

My real estate agent is John Tyler, The husband of the woman at the post office is named Woodrow Wilson, We have a hot dog stand in town owned by James Brown.

There must be more, I just can't think who right now.

[Bob Evans]

There is a sausage company in the Mid West called Bob Evans sausage

[John Kennedy]

There is a sausage company in the Mid West called Bob Evans sausage
There's not only a sausage company, there's a string of restaurants called Bob Evans. Your brother's post wouldn't have meant much to me if I hadn't taken a trip through Virginia and West Virginia a few years ago. We don't have any of 'em out here.

[John Kennedy]

John Kennedy I, quite obviously, know. George Wallace I know (or knew of). But who is the OTHER Dave McClung?

After 11/22/63 cashing a check became MUCH easier for me. Some of my students would ask if I was the REAL John Kennedy, to which some of the others would respond, "Of course not, dummy, he's alive."

[Hal Kreps]

Worked with a guy named Robin Hood.

[Benjamin Burch]

I knew a Stephen King in high school. I know a John Johnson (Jack Johnson is a famous singer). A friend of mine from high school is named Michael Christ. I know there are some more, I'll get back with you!

[Benjamin Burch]

I worked with a Steve Miller one summer and the following summer I interned at a church and the father of one of our teenagers was named Steve Miller. That's a 2-for-1 deal right there!

[David Troxler]

I know Bart Simpson and Rhoda Rutter (pronounced rooter).

[David Morris]

I have two Michael Scott's at my church (father and son).

[Marsha Lynn]

So doesn't anyone here know Daniel Boone, the famous Nazarene pastor/college president? I think I've met him at least once but can't claim to actually know him personally.

[Jim Franklin]

Greg, some years back I sent for a book from an outfit in Ohio called the World Book of Franklins and in it were several hundred thousand listings for people all over the world with the last name of Franklin. I went through each listing and checked each state and foreign area that listed a James, Jim or Jamie Franklin and found out that Texas, was the one area most blessed with about 175 Jim, James or Jamie Franklins in the listing. There was a Jim Franklin who died in a nearby town who passed so I cut out his obituary from the newspaper and kept it until it was time for my vacation weeks from JCPENNEYS and posted it on the bulletin board just as I was leaving. It was still hanging there when I got back and no one said a thing about it on my return so I don't thing I was missed.

[Wilson Deaton]

I can't believe I forgot this one earlier: My dad's sister married Walter Raleigh.

Wilson

[Gary Condon]

My name is Condon and the name "Condon" is found on billboards all over Central America. That's pretty famous. I changed my handle to Gary Lee while traveling there.

Gary, you remember Gary Lee whose dad pastored Nampa First and later Pasadena First. Gary, himself, was one of the Tehran hostages back in 1979 to 81.

[Gary Condon]

Gary, you remember Gary Lee whose dad pastored Nampa First and later Pasadena First. Gary, himself, was one of the Tehran hostages back in 1979 to 81.

Yes, I know Gary Lee. I went to that name because my middle name is Lee. When officials looked at my passport, they saw "Gary Lee" and that was good enough for them.

[Gina Stevenson]

That reminds me, Cynthia, that there was a man in our church Calvary Nazarene in Bethany, OK whose name was John Wesley. His son, David, served on a mission field in South America, I believe, and has taught at NTS.

[Cynthia Prentice]
