Actor Jim Caviezel
After finishing this morning's blog post about Elletu's and j's daughters' connection to actress Zoe McLellan, the female lead in the new "NCIS New Orleans" TV show, I remembered that Elletu's former boss--at South Kitsap High School, I might add--is actor Jim Caviezel's cousin. I mention the school because that is where the two BVGO's knew Zoe McLellan.
Then I remembered I graduated from Rainier Beach High School in 1966 with Vivian Greene, the author of many books, comic strip creator, entrepreneur with her own card line, motivational speaker (she travels the world as a speaker), and known for many of her quotes, such as, "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain." I see that quote on cards, posters, mugs, etc., all the time. In high school we were editors on the newspaper staff together and sang in the girls select ensemble together. We lost touch with each other for a few decades, and then one day I read about her in the Honolulu newspaper. She moved there when we were living there! So I e-mailed her, she called, and as it turned out, we ended up at the same church in Honolulu!
Now I'm asking you other BVG's to send me your own stories of your connections with notable people. (While you're at it, I'm waiting for your stories about your own falls too.)
