An
Old Rebel Video Retrospective,
"The
Old Rebel was a very kind guy. It just seeped out of the TV, you could
tell that he enjoyed talking with the children."
"I
was on the show once - I went with my mother's Girl Scout troop (I was
their mascot). I was at the top of the bleachers, we were jammed in
like mackerels and after a six-ounce Coke, I got sick and threw up.
I'm sure that made a lasting impression at Channel 2."  
I
loved the guy. Everybody loved the guy. |
"Throughout
the years, my dad led a creative, productive life: he married a beautiful
redhead named Martha. He painted outstanding artworks, carved figurines
and puppets out of wood, wrote poetry, played banjo and tenor guitar,
raised vegetables and flowers, read biographies and history voraciously,
fished, golfed and hosted WFMY-TV's 'RFD Piedmont'.
