i saw that the other day, i thought he was much older than that

So did I. I thought he was in his 60's. I checked his wiki page and it confirmed it.

I have e-mailed him a few times thru his personal site. Even though he lived here in Mobile,I have never met him in person.

Also ,in case you didn't know,he was a Crimson Tide fan.

I was always a big fan of his since we both went to the same HS... By all accounts he was a really nice fella.

When I was in HS living near Mobile, there was always rumors that The Undertaker lived in a house on some land out in Theodore, and that's how he and Paul Bearer met. It wasn't true, but folks were always wanting to go try and find his house... and hearing rumors that he had been spotted at the store or gas station or something... always cracked me up.

Funny, you remind me of something.

I don't remember who the wrestler was, but when I was in Jr High (Trussville), there was somebodies dad who was a pro wrestler...wish I could remember the name.

Doesn't Jaws from the 007 movies live in the Leeds/Springville/Ashville area somewhere?

I did some digging and it seems he (Richard Kiel) actually lives in California.
