He was one of nine children & dropped out of school when he was 12! He was a WWII vet.

I had no idea about this: he started his first car dealership in MY hometown of HP!!!! woohoo smilie jumps up with glee hehee

Whenever I think of USED CARS (movie) I think of him... anything to do with used car lots makes me think of both...

According to this wiki article, he's 88 now & his son looks just like him...

Kate

do you think he has this cat by the scruff of the neck?

The bear & cats seemed... really dangerous. Guess he had good vibes to not get really hurt, as far as I can see... He does seem to have a kind regard of enjoying himself, looking down at the pig in that one shot... He took so many chances!!!!
