I had 2 boyhood idols growing up. Richie Ashburn, Phillies baseball player, Hall of Famer, and announcer, and Roy Rogers. So many times we hear later in life that our hero's/idols were just media creations and were lacking in their personal life. Roy and Richie were not like that, they were the real deal. Wish I would have gotten to at least shake their hand like I was able to do with Charlton Heston at the Grand American a few years ago.
