When I was very young I lived in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY, and Ricky Lake the actress and talk show host grew up there.
The rest of my growing up, and where I most identify with, was Montgomery Village, MD, and Mark Bryan from Hootie and the Blowfish grew up there. I knew him, we went to the same schools for elementary and jr. high, and we went to the same pool in the summer time with our friends.
Julie Swetnick, who gave a statement about Justice Kavanaugh and his antics when he was a teenager, also grew up in Montgomery Village. Three of my classmates/friends were neighbors of hers, she was a few years ahead of us. I knew her more in passing. They lived just a ten minute walk from me in a close by subdivision. Montgomery Village is in Montgomery County, which is where Justice Kavanaugh is from.
If we include the county there is a huge list where I am from. Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase, Scott Van Pelt, and Joan Jett to name a few. Joan was not born there, but she graduated from high school in my county.
Oh, Auggie and I grew up in Montgomery Village and Gaithersburg (at he time Montgomery Village was within Gaithersburg city limit, but then eventually MV got it’s own zip code and when addressing an envelope instead of writing Gaithersburg, it was changed to writing Montgomery Village). We both went to Gaithersburg High School. I consider her famous by jelly standards.
