Did anyone important ever come from Wisconsin? I asked that question to family, friends and co-workers over the past few weeks. Very few people could name more than a few people, other than athletes, who truly qualify as famous or nationally significant; however, the reality is that Wisconsin has produced its share (perhaps more than its share) of truly remarkable people.
When you visit other cities and states, you realize how proud they are of their sons and daughters who have gone on to greater things. But in Wisconsin, we forget.
Over the next few weeks, the Crocodile Cage will post pictures or clues regarding of some of the truly great people from Wisconsin. There will be a few athletes, but mot of those named will have had greater significance.

See if you can identify them, and add your guesses on the Comments page. Some will be easier than others. The answers, and a bit of information about those pictured or described, will follow the next day.
I will start with people from Milwaukee, a city truly afraid to honor its own (is it some kind of inferiority complex?), but I will move on to the rest of the state. I hope this will be fun.

The Master of the Papal Household for about the last 15 years is Mgr. Harvey of Milwaukee.
He's important: if you want to even BREATHE near the Papal offices, you have to go through Mgr H.
