Message: [QUOTE="quavik, post: 4032773, member: 10969"] I grew up on a 160 acre farm in rural Illinois - our nearest neighbor lived a mile away. Predictably, my childhood idol was my dad. Our barn burned down one winter and we moved to SoCal. I went to jr high & senior high there and spent so much time trying to figure out the transition from IL to CA i didn't have time for idols (went from a class of 17 to a class of 450+). By the time i hit UCSB i was past the time for idols. For awhile i RESPECTED Shackelton, Amundson, and my great uncle Lincoln Ellsworth in the 70s when i was living in McKinley Park; but by and large I've grown up without idols in my life (not a good thing or a bad thing as far as i'm concerned, it is what it is.) (Sorry for the length of the post.) [/QUOTE]
