Other David Burrows

-------------

According to various e-mail directories, there are at least thirty people named "David Burrow" who use the Internet (though the actual number is certainly higher). There are over one hundred people with similar names on-line.

As far as can be determined from assorted search engines, David Michael Burrow of Iowa has the most comprehensive homepage among the "David Burrows" on the web. The domain "davidburrow.com" is held by a realtor from California.  Another David Burrow is an information technology student at Colorado Tech, while yet another is a history professor at the University of South Dakota.  There are also web references to a race car driver, a movie producer, and a dentist (all from Texas) with the name of "David Burrow". A few websites also refer to a Christian writer of the same name, the author of material on camp counseling and similar subjects.  One David Burrow even has a Facebook page.

Other websites featuring same-named people have come and gone over the years. There was, for instance, an interesting page is by a David Burrow who was a police officer and motorcyclist in Ohio. This page no longer exists. Also gone is a music professor from New York University, a Russian history instructor from Wisconsin, an aircraft mechanic from Kansas City, a session bassist in Britain, and a man in California who is probably best described as a "beach bum".

There are also several David Burrows (with an "s" at the end). The most distinguished is probably David Nelson Burrows, a professor of astrophysics at Penn State. His works on such topics as supernovas are published widly both on-line and in print. Oddly, Professor Burrows has a brother named John who enjoys writing, just like David Michael Burrow's brother.

Another well-known David Burrows plays professional soccer in England. The Coventry Sky Blues paid 1.1 million pounds (nearly $2 million) to acquire his services--more money than David Michael Burrow will probably earn in his life. Until quite recently on-line searches for "David Burrow" gave a huge number of results referring to this athlete, who is nick-named "Bugsy" by the press and fans.

Among the other prominent "David Burrows" are a theatrical designer from London, a DWI attorney from Houston. A number of other people with this name have had pages that came and went on the web over the years. For a time there was even a character in an on-line science fiction story named David Burrows. He was a surgeon who played golf when he was not working at St. Mary's Hospital. Sadly, Dr. Burrows' fictional biography has been removed from the web, so you can no longer read its amusing variation on the old "purely coincidental" disclaimer.
