DescriptionTerry Jones, the Florida pastor threatening to burn a Koran tomorrow on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, was a high school classmate of Rush Limbaugh.

The Cape Central High School (Missouri) website has the perhaps unsurprising coincidence front and center, noting:
"Rush Limbaugh USED to be Cape Girardeau's most prominent export. One of his classmates from the Central High School Class of 1969 is dominating the news right now: Terry Jones, the Gainesville, FL, preacher who is threatening to hold an 'International Burn a Koran Day' on September 11."

Gregg Hopkins, a Cape Central alum, recalled Jones in a comment on the site:

"I knew him the early 70s. He graduated from Central (I think) in 69. He was a funny, friendly guy back then, when he was dating my friend, Lisa. My how the years change some people. Every picture I've seen of him, he's wearing an intense scowl."
