Amppax Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I've got a couple: 1. My Grandpa grew up in Key West, and was best friends with Ernest Hemingway's sons. The closest he got to Hemingway was getting yelled at though. 2. My dad knew Benazir Bhutto and almost went and worked in her government. He was also really good friends with Shahbaz Bhatti, the Pakistani Catholic who was minister for religious minorities and was killed. 3. Ummm my great-great-grandad wrote the Cuban national anthem? that's about all I've got. My dad probably knows some other famous people, but those are the ones that i know about.

Dave Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) Glad someone on here mentioned Thomas Woods -- he attends my parish! I've met other famous people too -- both within and outside of the Catholic world. But there's a separate thread for that (which is also old). This is just for connections we have.

Dave Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Wow, I guess I shouldn't be surprised -- after all, you attended Southern Catholic College! Somehow we never got introduced though ... or maybe we did, but I didn't realize you were missionseeker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
