(I was going to say "out of left field" but that's baseball.)

When I was growing up in the '60s one of my favorite shows was "That Girl", starring Marlo Thomas, who I had a serious crush on. I recently bought the DVDs of the five season run of the show and am watching them. I checked out the Wikipedia and IMDB entries for the stars of the show, incldidng Ted Bessell, who played her boyfriend, Donald Hollinger:

What jumped out at me was:
" Born in [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flushing,_New_York']Flushing, New York[/URL], Bessell grew up in [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhasset']Manhasset[/URL] on [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Island']Long Island[/URL], New York. He was originally gearing up for a career as a classical musician. As a 12-year-old [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_prodigy']child prodigy[/URL], he performed a piano recital at [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnegie_Hall']Carnegie Hall[/URL]. Bessell played lacrosse in high school with future football star and actor [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Brown']Jim Brown[/URL]."

I have nothing to add to that. I just thought I'd report it. A very tiny piece in the mosiac of SU lacrosse history. If you ever watch the show, you're looking at a former teammate of Jim Brown's.
