I've had my relatives say something about Billy being related to us. Though, just because his last name is Conn isn't much proof, since, obviously, there are many Conns and I doubt we're ALL really related. However, my "clan" is from the Pittsburgh area. I was just wondering, I'm surprised everyone with the name Conn isn't scrapping for a claim to some kind of blood tie to "the Pittsburgh Kid."
