      Heather graduated from high school before she was actually born...? According to Wiki, she was born in 1987. I think her graduation year would be 2005.

      Lewis Elliot? I didn't know triathletes were famous. May as well put famous chess and backgammon players up there while you're at it. Did he win the Ironman in Hawaii or something?
