    • I was interviewed for an article by Jennifer Davies at the World Bird Sanctuary, who grew up with Peter Filardi, who wrote Flatliners starring Kevin Bacon (that's 3 degrees).
      • Norbert Leo Butz was a homeroom student of mine (and I knew him anyway by being a good friend of his brother Steve).  Norbert was in West of Here with John Elson, who was in Lover Boy with Kevin Bacon (that's 3 degrees).
      • I was in Circus Flora with Flora (the elephant) who was in Big Top Pee Wee with Paul Reubens who was in Mayor of Sunset Strip with Courtney Love, who was in 24 Hours with Kevin Bacon (that's 4 degrees)
      • I'm connected at least two other ways, but they are also 4 degrees
    • A "Bacon number" is the number of "degrees of separation" between an anyone and the actor Kevin Bacon
    •  You can calculate the Bacon number of actors by using the calculator at UVA Computer Science The Oracle of Bacon at Virginia (this calculator only works for film connections, not TV, live theater, or other connections)
