Recognize all but Randy Garibay!

Apparently I posted just after your edit. Now there's lots I don't recognize. Guess I should have narrowed my parameters a little. Yeah, probably should have. Maybe not . Famous is in the eye of the beholder I reckon. I'm sure all were well known anyway and that fits the bill. O.K............now where did they all live.

I'm to old for homework. Was this sonny ozuna with sonny an the sunliners? Or sonny and the sunglows? If not did you know of them? one or the other had a recording studio on S. Flores many moons ago. That may have been sunny not sonny. Randy's got my dad's old Fender in that photo.

I recently read that Peter Weller (Robo Cop and several other movies from the 80's) went to Alamo Heights.

Here is another little known SA fact. Bette Nesmith the inventor of "white-out" or Liquid Paper is from SA. And her son is none other than Mike Nesmith of the Monkees. There is a street named Mike Nesmith off of Evers.

Didn't know about Peter Weller but had heard about the white out. Isn't Evers where all the streets are named after movie stars? Some anyway? Danny Kaye and such?
