Microsoft founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen were all smiles in 1983 just after delivering MS Dos for the Tandy laptop and signing a contract to write MS-DOS for IBM.

From today's GSN:

Quote:

WOLFEBORO — Brewster Academy graduated 117 students on May 28 at its 191st commencement. Head of School Dr. Michael E. Cooper presided. Actor Topher Grace, a 1997 Brewster graduate, was the commencement
speaker.

Eric Forman went to Brewster? I wonder if Red had to to stick his foot up his bu## to get him in there! A much better choice than Kelso!

. . . is a good actor. He was recently in "Too Big To Fail", an excellent cable movie about the 2008 economic collapse. I don't know about you guys, but I'm still mad about what these greedy fools did to the economy, and I'm still waiting for some people to be placed in handcuffs.

Oddly...he apparently had little acting experience. From IMDB:

Quote:

Grace dropped out of USC to start his show business career in "That '70s Show" (1998) at age 20. He was cast in that show because the show's creators, Bonnie Turner and Terry Turner, saw him act in a high-school play--their daughter attended same high school. Apart from school plays, Grace had absolutely no acting experience before landing the role of Eric Forman.

I'm assuming they mean Brewster when they refer to his high school, so...the Turner's are yet another local connection to fame.
