Famous West Virginians

Wow!!!! Kathy came up with a bunch!!! George Brett? I did not know that. That is too cool!!! Here are a few more from today's show:

John Nash (educator/movie "A Beautiful Life" is based on him)

Tamar Slay (former NBA player/WWHS graduate/currently playing pro basketball in Italy & is now married and has a son...this according to his mom who stopped by Lola's remote today)

Jay Rockefeller (politician/really, really rich guy)

Mike D'Antoni (head coach of the New York Knicks)

O.J. Mayo (Huntington grad/currently playing in the NBA)

Check back tomorrow and be listening tomorrow for your chance to add more names to the list.

Next week, we've got another list planned and it concerns my favorite subject...food!

What the heck have you done lately?

Rick out!
