Robert Conrad who played Jim West in the "Wild Wild West" and Pappy Boyington in "Baa Baa Black Sheep" has passed away at the age of 84. I really liked both of those shows. Rest in Peace.

Damn, that's sad that Conrad has died. He was my idol when I was a child. Whenever playing in the forest I'd pretend I was James West.
About 40 years ago I saw Conrad at an exhibition - probably at the old Cow Palace. I lived in Daly City at the time. For some reason he was doing a physical exhibit - where he climbed a wall with those old peg boards from a gym. He moved up and down that peg board like he was weightless. It really impressed me.

Another one of my favorites...RIP...:uhuh:... Ben
Conrad another of my favorites that can't be replaced. I keep seeing my old heroes dying, Douglas last week, but I don't see anyone filling their shoes. Different times different tastes I guess. RIP guys
That's how I feel - like I'm out-living all the heroes I grew up with. I guess when we're eventually the only ones left - it's probably our time to go as well.Quote:
