I am a graduate (1971) of James Madison High School in Brooklyn. This evening I became aware of two other alumnus. Song-writer Carole King, and .........
drum roll please.......... William S. Gaines, founder of MAD magazine.

I'm not a big Carole King fan.

    Cool George. I went to university with CANADIAN COLUMBIA STS-52 ASTRONAUT Steve Mclean. Probably not well known in the USA.

    No offense intended, but none of those individuals brings the same cachet to the table as the founder of Mad does.

    Thanks Jesse.
