A friend of mine from Scotland (remember Hugh? Or as I like to call him "Thee Mullet" since he sported a fantastic one back in the 80s) just told me Lawrence Tynes - aka kicker for the NEW YORK GIANTS (whoo hoo! Superbowl, baby!) - lived in his hometown in Scotland until he was about 10 years old. So of course I did some Googling...and found out he was also the grand marshall of NYC's Tartan Day Parade back in April of 2008. Not too shabby!
Wow, I didn't know that. I was for the Giants because Lawrence went to my high school in Milton, Florida (I graduated many years before him though). My aunt was one of his teachers. Now I have an even better reason to cheer for the Giants. Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteYey Wanda! Go Giants! :) Apparently his dad was a Navy Seal. Pretty cool.
