Have you ever Googled your name? / myLot

Yes and I found a picture of me taken in 1954 when I represented my school band in a district band. Funny thing was a week later I received a copy of the magazine in which it appeared from a high school buddy who was also in the picture.

That's pretty wild, gifana. How did you feel when you first saw the picture, before you knew about the magazine? It's interesting to think about the fact that anyone can publish anything they want on the internet, whether we want them to or not.

It was weird believe me.....but it didn't bother me at all. I later learned from an aunt of mine that my friend had called her to ask her if she thought I would mind and she told her she didn't think so. My aunt was right.

Your story is interesting gifana. It's great that your story is positive and was something good that you had done. All too often all we hear about are negative stories about the Internet.

I am a Famous Actor. But the type of Actor I am supposed to be, most Women would not want to be unless they want to be in Xrated movies.
