Famous Relations

Brian: Looks like we are!

Oh, and I forgot ... Julia Caesar, Julius Caesar's sister.

So Bill, it may be your island, but it's my world. I've got some norse king in there, too, but I can't remember the name.

But where's all the money I should have?
 
I don't know if a former police officer should admit this, but a close uncle of mine is the basis for a character on The Sopranos, right down to the character using his real name. Not one of the 5 or 6 "big guys", but he's there... No, I won't say which one!

Speaking of Phil Rizzuto, My sister and niece was/are great fans of his and attended many of his personal appearances, and struck up a friendship of sorts, and it got to the point that they would bring him cannolis to the TV sportscaster's booth at Yankee Stadium and hang out. He and Yogi are really nice people, but I imagine you could guess that. I see Yogi from time to time at NJ Devils hockey games and I still get very nervous and almost hyperventilate around him. I've been near 5 U.S. Presidents, and I think Yogi got me the most excited.
 
Did Francis Drake use his cape for the ladies to walk through puddles of mud? Or am I thinking of someone else?

well on my mother's side the closest I can get to famous is my grandfather was working security for the Oscars [a side door] when Marlin Brando tried to enter without a badge.
An official ran up and asked my grandfather if he knew who that was, he said YEAH the guy tring to get in without a badge..... later that night he won the best actor oscar for ON THE WATERFRONT.

Dad's side John Thomas Snelson arrived from England in 1695 among other things, a first family of Virginia, and much more important HE knew when to leave England [as opposed to the Aussie Snelson's who waited just a little too long, what can I say my Great, Great,Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great grandfather knew when to "get out a dodge" 😀

Cicero, mother's side.
I'm not a lawyer, but on the other hand my head is still attached....

Your head is attached to your other hand? I'm confused. Yep, lawyer all right. Don't know their head from their, er, hand.

Best Regards,

Bill Mattocks
 
I once rode in an elevator with Stevie Nicks and fantasized about having relations with her - does that count?

My wife is distantly related to Lucille Ball.
