The name crops up in some unusual places.
General Paul Vallely is a
retired Major General and crops up on Fox News Channel.
Tom Vallely (the other one) is a former Massachusetts state
representative, John Kerry advisor and employee of the Harvard Institute
for International Development.
I remember back in the late
1970s when John Vallely was an All American
basketball player on some of the great John Wooden coached UCLA teams. He played with the Atlanta Hawks in the
NBA after being their first round draft choice in 1970.
A few years later I saw an interview in Time Magazine with Linda
Ronstandt by Joan Vallely.
A girl named Tannis Vallely was a regular in a mid 80s show called Head
of the Class. Her father, Jim Vallely, has numerous credits for
writing, producing and creating shows.
Mike Vallely is apparently some kind of super skateboarding legend.
Then there's the old country. Apparently everyone with musical
talent stayed in Ireland. Niall Vallely, Fintan Vallely and John
Vallely come to mind.
There are no famous criminals named Vallely.
