a hero is gone

Yes, most seem to find that it hurts to agree with me. I can't understand why!

Ummmm - nah, I ain't tellin' *chuckles

I never thought of a thrill seeker and daredevil as a hero or someone to look up to. As I recall he was a convicted wife batterer and had a rather violent temper. Not a hero - or someone to look up to.

As far as I am concerned he was no more than a thrill seeker who managed to get tons of fans.

My grandfather fought in WWII and got two purple hearts and several other medals. Kneivel couldn't carry my grandpa's jock strap.

Amen, Mr. Dean. Let's always remember the real heros.
