I was 6 in 1968, which helps explain both Batman & Captain Kirk as my childhood heroes. Although I didn’t think of him as a hero at the time, in retrospect, I’d say Forrest J Ackerman.
Captain Kirk.
I still have a crush on William Shatner.
Bowling was my sport, growing up in the 60s. My idols were Billy Welu, Dick Weber and Carmen Salvino.
Bob Lilly, defensive tackle, Dallas Cowboys.
My mom. Still is.
Ryne Sandberg
Marie Curie.
Nava, ChemE.
Superman, Bart Starr, and my dad.
Wonder Woman.
And my Aunt Addy, a true-life Auntie Mame.
I hate to admit it, but Batman was probably mine. And I’m talking Adam West Batman here. I so wanted to have all his neat toys.
Later, I guess Darryl Sittler.
Charles Schulz and Gregory “Pappy” Boyington.
My neighbor who was ~10 years older than me.
