The mayor, the Robbins in Baskin-Robbins, Dale Chihuly (maybe a regional guy?), and two Governors (Dixy Lee Ray and Albert Rosellini)
Chihuly is a famous glass artist. Had a well-attended exhibit at an arboretum in Miami.

I know who he is, I just didn't know if he was remotely famous elsewhere Smiley

No.

I think there was one guy who's a journeyman relief pitcher for various MLB teams...but he spends most of the season in AAA.  So, no.

Michael Milkin (the king of the junk bonds who went to jail) went to my high school. Talk show radio host Bill Handel in LA also went to my high school and in fact was in my class, but I never knew him.

Baseball players for some reason are not a rariety despite our schools small size come to think of it,

We had former RP Bobby Jones (the black Bobby Jones, not the white one w/the Mets), a pitcher whose on the White Sox 40-man, a 3rd round pick in last year's draft, and 3 or 4 other A ball or higher players

I believe I saw Paul Wellstone's name on the list of wrestling champs at Yorktown High.  Not sure if this is the same person as the deceased Minnesota senator, though.

I went to high school with one of the lead actors in the Final Destination series -- Ryan Merriman.  He and I were actually good buddies back in the day and only lived less than half a mile from each other.  He also starred in the mid-1990s sitcom "Mommies".

Probably, since the deceased Minnesota senator had been a wrestling champion and was born in D.C.
