(okay, so they probably couldn't call him up and talk to him, but I thought it was a funny story about they knew-them-when). 3) various ppl in the music biz and 1) my uncle 2) bill and hillary --> all sorts of yayhoos 3) monica 4) babwa wawa 5) even more yayhoos, both the legitimately famous and the just plain psychos. - --kt ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Dec 1999 13:31:01 -0500 From: "Leigh 13" Subject: Two degrees of the Rockford Files I'm going to change the stakes a bit...and partly following Courtney's cue, here's my shot at just two degrees of separation from famed members of the Rockford Files.

Alright...I gots a big one, but it happened about 13 years ago, so I don't know how much it counts. 1) me running on a soundstage somewhere in chicago 2) cindy crawford running right next to me. Oh yes, when I was six I was in a commercial with cindy crawford for Nike and Sears. And if you think I'm bragging right now, I am. = ) Oh, and it's not like we're still in touch or anything, but I still think it's cool, since no one had any idea at the time that she would become a supermodel and I would become a college student. I have a few others, but that one is the most exciting to me.
