\section{Musicians}
Several musicians have made their mark over the past
decades. This section has a few examples.
\subsection{Jimi Hendrix}
Jimi Hendrix is known as "the best guitar player ever". He
learned to play guitar on a broom, and then restrung a right
handed guitar to play it left handed. He was able to play
rhythm and lead guitar at the same time.

What often escapes notice is Jimi's lyrical skill. Every
song had a poetry of its own. His music went far beyond the
"acid rock" genre for which he was often credited.
\subsection{Justin Timberlake}
Justin Timberlake is bringing Sexy back. J. Timberlake
how heavy is that!
\subsection{Steve Litt}
Steve Litt is known as "the worst guitar player ever". A
fixture on the wall outside Columbus Ohio's "Ohio Stater
Inn" in the summer and fall of 1977, he hit the nadir of his
professional career earning 37 cents and a half loaf of
cheese in one night.
\section{Athletes}
\subsection{Carl Lewis}
Carl Lewis broke Bob Beamon's "unbreakable" long jump
record. He won gold medals in the 1984, 1988, 1992 and 1996
olympics.
\subsection{Mark McGwire}
Give the guy a break. At the time he took them, the
supplements he took were legal. He broke Roger Maris's
record by 9. There's absolutely no doubt that he shattered
it. He won a Golden Glove award for fielding in 1990. Put
him in the Hall of Fame.
\subsection{Barry Bonds}
OK, let's say it: Steroids. Barry Bonds never tested
positive for steroids. Even if he had, they were not against
the Major League Baseball standards before 2003, and Barry's
home run record of 73 occurred in 2001. He's a good fielder,
and a consumate base stealer. He won the Most Valuable
Player (MVP) in 1990, 1992, 1993, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.

Did he take steroids? I don't know. Did McGwire? Other than
a legal over the counter supplement, I don't know. Did all
the others? I don't know. But don't blame Barry Bonds for
the fact that baseball had no steroids policy til 2003. Vote
him into the hall of fame.
\subsection{George Foreman}
One of the hardest punchers of all time, George Foreman won
the Heavyweight Gold in the 1968 Olympics. Turning pro, on
January 22, 1973, he became heavyweight champion by knocking
out Joe Frazier in the second round. In 1974 he knocked out
Ken Norton, hitting Norton so hard that Norton rolled like a
ball across the ring. Foreman was invincible.

On October 30, 1974, Foreman fought former champion Muhammad
Ali, who, at 34, was approaching the twilight of his career.
Ali outsmarted Foreman by covering his face and body to the
extent possible, and letting the young but less experienced
Foreman use him as a punching bag. Foreman tired, and in the
8th round Ali knocked out Foreman. Following a 1977 loss to
Jimmy Young, a disallusioned George Foreman retired from
boxing and became a Minister.

Ten years later, at the age of 38, George Foreman began a
long comeback. In 1991 he went a full 12 rounds with
champion Evander Holyfield but failed to win. Continuing to
box, on November 5, 1994, at the age of 45, George Foreman
knocked out Michael Moorer for the IBF and WBA titles.
Foreman might have been old and slow, but his nuclear
powered punches overwhelmed Michael Moorer.

George Foreman retired for good in 1997, at the age of 48.
\subsection{Tanya Harding}
I liked Tanya Harding. She could jump like a grasshopper.
She twirled like a radar star. She was pretty, and compared
to Nancy Kerrigan's gawkiness, she was an eagle in flight.

Yeah, she had to be disqualified, but a lot of the "trailer
trash" talk that followed was just plain mean spirited. Does
one need a pedegree to medal in ice skating? If so, maybe it
should be a marginal sport like curling and lacrosse.
\subsection{Steve Litt}
Steve Litt was a speed skater for the Venice Speed Demons
outdoor speed team in the early 1980's. Learning to skate in
1978, he placed third in a Chicago skate race in the fall of
1979.

Moving to California, he placed third in the 30-40 age
category at the Riverside 10K in 1980, and the Long Beach
Marathon in 1981. Although considered washed up, he skated
first pack in a 1983 Southern California "bootleg" race.

Litt became a computer programmer in late 1983, gained
weight, and became less effective on wheels. In his last
competitive race in 1984, the Venice race, he could place
only 4th in the 30-40 age category, even though the race
attracted only local talent. He continued practice skating
with the Venice Speed Demons until his retirement in 1986.
\section{Intellectuals}
The last few centuries offered no shortage of intellectuals.
Here's a very partial list.
\subsection{Albert Einstein}
Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity,
including $e = mc^2$.
\subsection{John Stuart Mill}
John Stuart Mill (1807-1873) was an economist and
philosopher. Mill's system of logic, consisting of
five methods, formed the foundation of Steve Litt's later
contributions in the Universal Troubleshooting Process.
\subsection{Justin Timberlake}
Not!
\subsection{Steve Litt}
Steve Litt formulated the Universal Troubleshooting Process
while working as an electronic technician, refining it over
the years to make it easier for the masses to learn.
