Man, do I feel my mortality. I had three very close friends in high school. Ryan (his real name was Patrick), Johnny Weismueller, Jr., Bob Broder whose father owned The California Racket Club, and myself. John Jr. died 17 years ago. Don't know about Bob. After HS, we all went our separate ways and rarely saw each other.
I am saddened.

I have not spoken to a single person that I went to High School with since 1985.

I talk to a couple via Facebook now and then. One I was good friends with drifted apart in the 1990s. Went on a date with a girl from HS who found me there. I still for the life of me cannot remember her, but she seemed to remember me. Might have been a case of "I should have went out with him back then" but who knows. I think she found an older guy.

Or you can look at it like they haven't spoken to you. Depends on your perspective.

I was a big fan in high school of the absurdist humor that Paul Reubens created through Pee-Wee Herman, Pee-Wee's Playhouse, and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. I felt like I was in on the joke that this character was for adults and not children.

Never heard of her and I lived there a long time.
In 1968, Greene famously drove his Oldsmobile into one of the fountains outside Caesars Palace and admitted he was drunk at the time.

I sounds like you need to stop watching kiddie movies and study history.

I thought he was someone newer, but I see he was around awhile. I saw him in a picture with Ric Flair. Flair runs around in the Tampa area, last I remember.

I guess he was one of those guys who was also a booker and other behind the scenes work.
I can see Flair spending all kinds of money on spilled liquor in Tampa. Gotta keep those alligators down!

I am familiar with Lewis only for his role on Curb Your Enthusiasm. I watched S12, E3 recently where he told Larry David that he had put him in his will, and they were arguing over which one of them might live longer. Lewis hasn't looked very healthy in years, and was a recovering alcoholic. So Larry was right (so far) when he argued that "I'm going to outlive you by 20 years!"
Here is an appearance Lewis made in Seinfeld, which I never watched Seinfeld regularly but I found this today online.
