ND Celebrity Names – 4 Letters In The Alphabet Not Represented
Well here is a topic you may have never considered doing any Google research on ( or you just don't give a damn )
I came across an old article that I wrote a couple of years ago about celebrities and famous sports athletes that are from North Dakota, and there are some huge ones that come to mind instantly. For some reason, I chose to investigate more thoroughly, and no better way than to open up Wikipedia.
After being impressed by the long list, I then wondered IF EVERY letter in the Alphabet was represented
Does that make any sense at all? For instance, let's take the letter "R" - right away Ronda Rousey came to me - she of course was raised in Jamestown. So I then dived in further and found that only 4 letters were not represented - can you guess which ones they are?
According to Wikipedia, here are just a few known names ( last names ) from North Dakota ( except 4 letters of course )
A) Reese Andy - Mixed martial artist - Minot
B) Carmen Berg -Playmate - Bismarck
C) Chris Coste - Major League Baseball player - Fargo
