Kind of a tangent, but I know that you – Dave – read your comments.
The second paragraph of John Green’s Wikipedia page starts as follows: “Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, Green was raised in Orlando, Florida, before attending boarding school outside of Birmingham, Alabama.”
The problem is that this unsourced claim is probably not true. Green moved to Indianapolis because of his wife’s job and ended up staying. As far as I know, he’s never said anything to indicate that he was born in Indianapolis. And he and his brother were raised in Florida.
It’s my presumption that John’s fans *think* that he’s originally from here because his parents live nextdoor & his brother comes to Indy for family events. But it seems most likely that John’s parents moved to Indianapolis such as to be close to John’s kids and just a little bit closer to Hank and his family up in Montana. Convenient central location where oldest son & his family lives…
So if you ever have the chance to just ask John the state in which he was born & make an official record of it with an article, that would be great.
/Tangent
John indeed was born in Indianapolis and his family moved away within a year of his birth. His parents, Mike and Sydney, were married here in the mid-1970s. Sydney attended Tudor Hall School for Girls. John’s maternal grandfather, Henry Goodrich, was chairman of Inland Container Corp. Purely by chance, Sarah’s work at the Indianapolis Museum of Art brought the couple to Indianapolis.
Thanks Dave!
