From my hometown (Zanesville Ohio) Three that I personally have known

Ted Hannahs - Bowling from the PBA (Professional Bowlers Association)
He had given a friend of mine some "bowling tips" when we were bowling one summer in the late 70's. We didn't really know who he was back then, but by the 80's it was like WOW!!
