<p>carolyn - great list. Could you add two of my favorite people? Tom Brokaw attended U of [ ] Dakota (I can never remember which state he's from. Some people maintain that there is only South Dakota, and that North Dakota was made up. After all, as they say, have you ever met anyone from North Dakota?) </p>
<p>The other person is Tim Russert, who graduated from John Carroll College. (I may have the school name wrong - I'm not familiar with it.)</p>
