    We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo;
    We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,

    Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear;
    Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen.
    Football's still the roughest thing on campus,
    And the kids here still respect the college dean.

    In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.

    Words to live by. MAN, I love Merle Haggard, I have pretty much every record he put his name on.

    Thats just too dang cool man!

    Also my uncle is a big time producer for Sony Pictures out in LA.
    I remember that show

    And not a direct relation...but I have a first cousin who is best friends with Michael McKean's wife. Michael McKean is best known for playing Lenny on Laverne & Shirley back in the 70's...and he's also Billy Crystal's best friend. So my cousin gets to hang out with that crowd. Must be nice! LOL

    My Aunt is Carmen Velasquez. She is actually my Godmother but she is family so she is my Aunt if you know what I mean.

    http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/...-chicago_x.htm

    Not really famous so to speak but her family is very influential in Chicago with getting Hispanics to vote and she has opened clinics throughout the city for poor immigrants to receive medical care.

    She is regarded as 1 of the top ten most powerful women in Chicago.

    Re: What famous people are you related to?

    Well, lets see....My mother's side of the family came over on the Mayflower; the ancestor was Edward Doty. Old Edward is credited with having the first pistol duel in this country...
    On my dad's side are Native American's; the settler's called them the Paiute tribe. They brought back the Ghost Dance.
    My husband's relation was Baron von Stargard and the old Stargard castle (formally of Prussia) is still standing. He also had some ancient relation who was a princess but she was caught drunk and dancing on the table tops of a local pub and was pretty much disowned!!

    Now that would be awsome! Maybe Wyatt Erp, or Doc Holiday would be cool to be related too!
