| Ok so I did a search and came up with these...
Don Ameche actor, Kenosha Roy Chapman Andrews naturalist and explorer, Beloit John Bardeen inventor, Madison Carrie Catt woman suffragist, Ripon Ellen Corby actress, Racine William Defoe actort, Appleton Tyne Daly actress, Madison August Derleth author, Sauk City Jeanne Dixon seer, Medford Chris Farley actor, Madison Zona Gale author, Portage Eric Heiden speed skater, Madison Woody Herman band leader, Milwaukee Loretta Sell Hildegarde singer, Adell Harry Houdini magician, Appleton Thomas Hulce actor, Whitewater Pee Wee King singer, Abrams George F.

Guess I knew about Charles and John Ringling since the circus museum is about 5 minutes from my house and we have gone there. And Chris Farley, he had come to a place I use to work when I lived up here before (about 10 yrs ago) cause he was home visiting his home town or whatever, and he came in there and signed a poster they hung on the wall. | |
