I'm from a tiny town in Pennsylvania, the only semi-famous person is John Woodruff, a black man who won a gold medal at the 1936 Olympics. He was kinda overshadowed by Jesse Owens.

The most famous person from my county was George Marshall.

Frankie Munez lol

My friend used to be good friends in middle school with him but then he got on famous and never heard from him again. He used to play Tiny Tim in the local Christmas Carol play every year.

Other than that only others I know of are Clay Aiken and Bill Cowher.

Try this guy for size.

Considering I live in a rather small town (about 10,000 now, but it used to be much smaller) it's quite impressive)

Other than Patrick Stewart, all we have is the grave of Robin Hood.
