who's the most famous person from your town

for mine it's probably Raymond Collishaw, the fighter pilot who probably shot down more planes than the baron but didn't say so cuz he wasn't a claimer.

The name everyone would recognize is Bam, from Viva la Bam and Jackass and all those shows.  The most historical name is probably Bayard Rustin, who organized the Million Man March.
