My mother used to be a Playboy bunny at the original Playboy Club in Chicago, IL; I'll try to dig up a picture.
My mom went to school with Danny Kaye, my grandmother went to school with Danny Thomas.
My great grandmother on my mother's side was once arrested for indecent exposure because she was wearing a bathing suit that showed her knees (I have a picture that was taken right before she got arrested, I'll try to find it)
My uncle was in the Air Force and stole an airplane by impersonating a colonel; he was a pilot but he wasn't authorized to have that plane. He had seven children and a happy marriage but he was also a secret transvestite (auntie knew but helped him keep it secret).
My husband's father is the chief inventor/designer/engineer of the ground hugging radar system used in the military today in drone planes. He used to fly in Hueys with the Coast Guard testing it and tweaking it as they flew. He's also the inventor of the hatch blowing system for the Apollo rockets which he did after the one that caught fire while on the ground and trapped the astronauts inside.
Me? My only claim to fame is that all three of my boys have not only survived to adulthood but are productive, (relatively) sane, and happy.
