You must have grown up in the same town that I did! Rosie went to my high school (Commack High School South) but 8 years later than me.
Did you go to Commack South? My sister in law's little sister went to school with Rosie. She still likes to tell us how she got in a fight with Rosie over cheerleading (it's a long story but had to do with Rosie's younger sister who was a cheerleader).
When Rosie still had her talk show she did a high school reunion show and two of my high school teachers were on the show. I loved seeing them again.
It really is a small world.
