I saw him once on Catalina Island, he had just completed a swim there FROM L.A. I think he was about 70 then and during the interview at the shoreline he was saying how he used to made the swim towing row boats...when he was younger! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #5 January 25, 2011 RIP - He certainly changed the way a portion of the populace thinks about health. He also changed the way a larger portion of the populace thought about health and then promptly ignored and went to fast food places and couch stores. at least some paid attention ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Niki1 2 #9 January 26, 2011 QuoteQuotehe used to made the swim towing row boats He even towed one boat, with arms and legs shackled. He once did something like 2,000 push ups on a morning talk show. But it goes to show, eat healthy, exercise, die anyway. But after 95 years, you probably deserve a rest. He always seemed like the real deal.Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?
