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.

Ryan Lochte, he won gold in the 2008 olympics for swimming, Ahmet and Giray Dadali.     Which is not bad considering it's such a small town   we dont even have a post office.

Hugo Harrison lived in a town near from my city. I don't know how he became a pro bigmountain skier cause the mountains here are small and we almost never get powder.
