Mystery Classmate 075

Congratulations to Coleman Brennan and Colleen O’Connor Casey, both of whom correctly identified John “Spiney” Williams ('84) as Mystery Classmate #75 and are listed in the order that their responses were received.

In case you were wondering, Spiney is a Los Angeles-based standup comedian who recently had a supporting role in the independent comedy film Speilburgh, which was produced by fellow classmate Eric “DiLo” DiLucente (’83).

The film is the story of Stephen Speilburgh, (played by Grant Bhyron), no relation to the big time director, who is a wannabe filmmaker and the head usher of a local cineplex that opens only at night, because the owner's too cheap to show matinees. Steve lets his politeness get the best of him as he puts up with a slave-driving boss and inept employees that mess things up more than help out. Little does he know that his boss is secretly involved in a mob-organized operation of smuggling drugs, hidden in candy boxes, into the theatre. Steve and his best friend/co-worker Matt (Spiney) get shoved directly in the center when things go terribly awry.

Donna Andreas guessed Coleman Brennan. Bill Stout guessed Dave Gleba, after Dave’s parents caught him peeing in the living room. Paul Rodgers guessed Alan Checca. Jerry Koutavas guessed Billy Hirschman.

Milton Koutavas guessed Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots.

Donna Andreas Copley shared a fond memory of Mystery Classmate #74, Maria Wojtaszek Romanelli. She wrote, “I wonder if Maria remembers when we had a swim-off to see who got into the Highland relays for backstroke. I just barely won, but they put her in because she had more experience... then she got DQ'd in the meet. That was the beginning of my swimming career and that always stuck in my mind - she was already a vet and probably forgot. I was a completive little brat and thought it was soooo funny back then. Summer swim team - back when things used to be so much fun! What's really funny is that neither of my kids can swim worth a pooooh.”
