    Robert Conrad Has Passed Away

    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.

    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.
