11. I'm from Flint, MI - Born and Raised

Apr 2014

I'm a couple years younger than Michael Moore. In high school, we spread the rumor in hushed and astonished voices, "an 18 year old high school kid is mayor of Davison!" He wasn't; he was on the school board which is pretty laudable, too. Like MM, I am Irish and raised Catholic.

I knew several people in Roger & Me (Deputy Fred [really cool guy], the Taco Bell manager, and the guy in the factory window that MM tried to interview before being interrupted by the GM spokeswoman), but I've not yet had the pleasure of meeting Michael himself.

May Frank rest in peace. Condolences to the family and friends.
