Basically, some guys did a "Six degrees of Adolf Hitler" game with the current US Presidential Candidates. Hillary Clinton was the closest, being two degrees away from Der Führer. So it got me thinking...who here has the fewest degrees away from Hitler?

I've found three links to Hitler so far, and probably have double that as well:

I studied under my algebra 1, 2, precal, and calculus teacher in high school (same teacher, name not included for obvious reasons)
Her father was a scientist at Peenemünde for the Nazis and then at NASA.
Her father knew Werner von Braun at both Peenemünde and NASA, in Huntsville.
Werner von Braun knew Hitler.

Also:

I once got an autograph from Porter Wagoner
Porter Wagoner starred in 1982's "Honky Tonk Man" with Clint Eastwood
Clint Eastwood got a Kennedy Center Award from Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton allegedly attended an event with Leni Riefenstahl
Riefenstahl worked for Hitler

Also:

I am my father's son
My father small-talked with Jimmy Carter on a business flight.
Jimmy Carter attended Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee ceremony
Queen Elizabeth met Hitler

Gay Ninjas have no time for this frivolity. We play Six Meals made of Kevin Bacon.
