I lived in Rinconada and dorm legend says so did John McEnroe in his one-and-only year at Stanford.
alumni database and the class of '81 Froshbook says he lived in Faisan

I was a frosh in Otero in 79. The upperclassmen told us that McEnroe had lived next door in Rinconada as a frosh. Maybe he just spent all his time there.

I am class of 81 and was in Wilbur freshman year. FWIW, during spring quarter when I picked up my housing card for the next year, the person on duty in the Wilbur office jokingly told me I could take McEnroe's as a souvenir since he obviously wouldn't be needing it. Too bad I didn't. I'd always heard he lived in Rinc.
OTOH, he does indeed appear on the Faisan page in the froshbook (see attached photo). It's possible he was moved some time after the froshbook was published.

Jen and her boyfriend were in the same eating club as me my senior year (Suites). I forget the details, but they had to attend a wedding(?) and he didn't own a tux, so he borrowed Cary's. Kinda cool story. 8)

Funny thing is that Reese wasn't that big a deal with Fred Savage and Danny Pintauro on campus, who had been part f the fabric of their fellow students' lives as regular prime time viewing. And of course Tiger sightings. I don't remember hearing a lot of anecdotes about Reese like I heard about the others.
