More North Dakota Stuff - continued
Started this on 9/6/07 - I think it may be time to finish it.....
It's a continuation of this post.
Lynn Anderson- I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden.....Born in Grand Forks in 1947, Lynn was a major country star in the early 70's.
Harold Schafer - The founder of the Gold Seal company, makers of Mr. Bubble Bubble Bath! He was also instrumental in turning the tiny town of Medora into a major toursist attraction and he is the father of former North Dakota governor Ed Schafer, the current nominee for Secretary of Agriculture.
Charlie Korsmo - Child actor who starred as "Kid" in Dick Tracy, now all grown up with a degree in physics from MIT and has a Juris Doctorate degree from Yale Law School. He's currently working at a NYC law firm.
Peggy Lee - Born in Jamestown, she is famous for singing "Fever" and one of my faves - "The Siamese Cat Song" from Lady and the Tramp.
Darin Erstad - Another Jamestown native, Darin played major league baseball for the Angels from 1996-2006. He is currently a free-agent.
Josh Duhamel - Can you say yummy??? This hunk is from Minot and if memory serves, my brother's wife's brother was in the same graduating class..... So I kinda sorta know him, ya know? Las Vegas, Transformers, Fergie - this guy is good.....and he is part-owner of a restaurant in Minot that I can't afford to eat at.
Jonny Lang - aka "Kid" Jonny Lang....at least that's what he was before he left the state....But I guess when you release your first album at the age of 13, we can call you Kid! Born in Fargo, in 1981, this blues guitar player rocks!!
And of course, everybody's favorite --- Cooth --- but you already knew that!!

Hhmm...Can't think of too many famous people from Helsingborg...Well, there's a band called The Sounds which is pretty good. And a famous football player (that's soccer to you) called Henrik Larsson.
And Mark Base, of course, but you know that - although he's actually from Montreal, so perhaps he shouldn't count (two-three-four...).
Happy New Year.
