I appreciate the compliment, but I assure you I'm a normal guy.

Are you referring to the Prime Minister, Netanyahu? Not sure if he was born in Philly, but he grew up in Cheltenham.

Yes; same high school as Reggie Jackson I believe

Not positive he was born here come to think of it but spent a majority of his youth I believe
