      Best I can make out, copyright 1982

        Didn’t know anyone still used the word “coed” in 1982! (The year I graduated with my bachelor’s degree.)

        Thanks. I was in college in ’82, but no one ever referred to us as “coeds”!

    Good point, Stephanie.

      I believe that he is a very honest gentleman. Having works with hundreds of celebrities by comparison, I can say that he is socially, politically and personally trustworthy to a fault.

        Well, at the 1988 MacWorld, before I knew we were cousins, he actually told a signing-party staffer to find another silver-ink Sharpie instead of doing it himself! Outrageous. The staffer might have been Jack, now that I think about it.

    I have your pedigree. Maybe that would tell us something. 🙂

      What do you mean you have his pedigree?

  6. Wenona Gardner 2020 says:

    Wil I started a family tree for you on my Ancestry account. Since I was baptized By the Mormons their LDS church pays for my World Ancestry account all year long. My instincts tell me somewhere your family tree has Native American somewhere… I had a very vivid dream about this. I started doing geneaology in 1988 when I was 15 when I ran away from my abusive family! That is also the first time I ever met the Mormons at their local Hales Corner branch!
    I can show you where I am.

    Maybe this Spider-Man Wheaton has is a distant cousin somewhere. lol

    Ha Ha!

    1. David Nelson says:

      Already done the pedigree. We are cousins (shh, Wil doesn’t know that yet.) 🙂

        How many generations back do you go?

        1. David Nelson says:
          14 April, 2020 at 4:56 am

          We are (8C2R) with each other.

            Forgive me I am not Wasicu genealogist, but am a Native American Tribal genealogist! I help any Tribe get their Tribal Members back! Text me (414) 391-0565 which is my White Turtle Rainbow 🌈 Business!

            Remember God’s Promise because of God’s blessing of the Rainbow …the God of Abraham that what is going next like What Grandpa says!

            That is some interesting knowledge you must have. I admit that I know little about tribal families. Recently finished my al-Bayt Sayyid Muhammad pedigree. It is probably the easiest pedigree to create (there are plenty of examples). But for me, the most exhausting yet enjoyable lineage.

            14 April, 2020 at 5:21 am

            Again what evidence did you use to verify your geneaology tree?

          4. David Nelson says:
            14 April, 2020 at 5:31 am

            I also learned genealogy at age 13 years in 1975 at the original Genealogical Society at the LDS Church Office Building (now FamilySearch.com). I prefer to use their database and pedigrees over Ancestry.com and others because it is the largest database and simple, too. Differential pedigrees can be friendly.

          5. Wenona Gardner 2020 says:
            14 April, 2020 at 5:39 am

            No I learned genealogy at 4 also in the seventies. I used evidence based practice for 31 years. I don’t steal other people’s geneaology from their public trees!

      2. Wenona Gardner 2020 says:
        14 April, 2020 at 5:01 am

        What sources of evidence did you use to demonstrate the level of research to verify each and every generations? I hope you are not copying and pasting a bunch of names without actual researched and verifiable with documentary. I can not stand when guys just steal a bunch of names from a random stranger’s family tree plus use no research! For 31 years I specialize bringing & doing Native American Tribal Genealogy to help all Lost Birds find their away back to their tribes!

          I promised I wouldn’t share it. But, I can say we are connected to the Salem Witch Trials (where I am a cousin with Jacob Goodall who was a specter) and more distantly, some apparently French Canadians.

          1. Wenona Gardner 2020 says:
            14 April, 2020 at 5:18 am

            Why I am only trying to help Wil while receiving no financial gain! See I have First Nations & French Canadians in my Tree too! I am only trying to help Wil learn his tribal ways… not exploit him for financial gain! I want to see what is your evidence you used! Family Search records are notorious to be inaccurate and a bunch of people just copying off random people’s family tree…which is not true geneaology.

          2. David Nelson says:
            14 April, 2020 at 5:23 am

            Find a few Salem families like the Ames/Eames we share, and you have it nailed. But, I can’t disclose. Sorry.

            14 April, 2020 at 5:27 am

            Since you cited no evidence to confirm your tree I don’t want to see it… no evidence means it is worthless! I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole! I back up every member with verified research and attach it to each member of the tree! I have no respect for lazy “genealogists” who rob other people’s trees but do not use hard fought research! I have Ethics & Standards!

          4. Wenona Gardner 2020 says:
            14 April, 2020 at 5:36 am

            Family Search May be the largest but it has the most mistakes I would not use it and I am Mormon. Your “research” is nothing without evidence! You have not cited not even one piece of evidence! My Mother Medicine Woman Wambli Wasu Winyan Hail Eagle Woman taught me the correct way using evidence. She was an expert Tribal Geneaologist for 50 years and knows I did the actual work using verified evidence! Yours mean nothing without evidence! I am Mormon and I know exactly how inaccurate their Family Search is! Do not copy from Family Search!

    Curious you state and claim you are cousins? Are you saying you and Wil are 1st level cousins? Or is the distance much greater.?

      While working as a tech with hundreds of Sundance Institute filmmakers labs’ “resource staffers (a diversion to protect celebrities, even from other celebrities)” they would describe to me how they were constantly broke (paying lawyers, managers, agents as well as travel expenses for auditions; see Sonny & Cher). A few would include their kids in lab scenes getting them trained for a life of distressing popularity (see Robin Williams among others). I ended up wondering if all actors who enjoyed the month-long labs’ oasis would share some advice to other actors especially those who are new to the game and/or young actors. I hoped.
