[LM_NET] Target: famous people

[Karen Walstein <mets53@COMCAST.NET>]

Hi Group,
I have an interesting request from a teacher.  She is looking for a list or 
site that would mention famous people (especially ones that teenagers would 
know) and hardships or problems that they had to overcome.  She would prefer 
things like a famous politician was only a 'C' student or this great person 
was suspended for fighting.  I have poked around and found a few ex: Tom 
Cruise is Dyslexic and Adam Sandler was the class clown and Bill Cosby left 
high school after tenth grade and joined the army.  Ideally, I would like it 
all in one place.  Any ideas?
Thanks,
Karen Manassa-Walstein
