Tony Parsons (BC newscaster)
Pamela Martin
(both at the GVO one year)

   

I wouldn't say he's famous exactly but this winter I was working weekends at a local tennis club. Arriving for my afternoon shift one Saturday, the place is mayhem with kids and parents due to a national tournament. My coworker points this one guy out to me and says, "do you recognize him?" He doesn't even look remotely familiar so I say, no. Coworker says, "that's Cory Hart!" I have a sudden flashback to senior high but I still wouldn't know this guy even if I tripped over him.

So I say to my coworker, "Yeah sure that's Cory Hart. And the guy next to him would be Gino Vanelli?"

Note: If you were just a figment of your daddy's imagination in 1983 then you won't find this story very funny.
