I had no idea except for Palin.... and umm, your famous :)
Great post! I knew about a few of them, but this was very interesting!
When I saw Darwin & Miller in the same list, I knew it was a DS family member. I don't recognize some of the names, but most, I do.
Thanks, Renee, for stopping by (& commenting) on my blog.

Albert Pujols is awesome!
You can add Rex Hudler. He announces Angel baseball. Only he calls it "up" syndrome.
It's a privilege to be able to pray for you!
Revelation 1:5-6 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Damon Hill, Formula 1 champion sometime in the 90's has a son with Down's Syndrome. (They are British, so the 's is correct.)
I've never met Gene Stallings but we went to church with his daughters. Johnny and Ruth Anne always came to Lubbock during Spring Training for the Dallas Cowboys. I introduced Johnny Stallings to my friend and childhood mate Johnny Steele, who just happened to share that special extra chromosone.
HI Renee, I tagged you on my blog! Come and see my new idea for a post you can do.
Wow, that's an awesome list! A knew a few of them, but the others were quite interesting. Thanks for this! :D
