Actor Kevin Kilner's credits include an impressive list of television and film appearances including recurring roles in One Tree Hill, Greek and Earth: Final Conflict—a career that dates back to 1989, with the role of "Steve" in The Cosby Show.  But before he became an actor, he was first and foremost, a Lion—a Dulaney High School Lion to be exact.  Kilner graduated from the Timonium high school in 1976. He went on to Johns Hopkins University where he played midfield for the school's lacrosse team, which won three national championships between 1978-80, according to his IMDB page.  On Tuesday…

His name is Jeremy.   What happened to young Jeremy? I don't know.  The cross and photo have been there for longer than a year. How long?
