Let's see, I was an extra in Remember the Titans when they filmed it at my high school, my mom is friends with Mark and Kelly Wills from when she taught their daughters in school, and I've met Dwayne Johnson and Chris and Nancy Benoit multiple times when I was engaged to a friend of theirs.
My last name is most notable for my grandfather, Jesse Burrell, who was the Army Air Corp Chief photographer and recollector aboard the Missouri and is responsible for over 80% of the photos taken aboard it and for the ceremony and signing of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender that marked the end of WW2. His name is found in multiple textbooks and documents for grade schools, colleges, and universities. I used to get asked regularly if I was related to him when I was in grade school or a history class and his name was captioned in a text.
