Most likely very few others here will remember the series, but when I
was but a sprite, my buddy and I were at O'Hare when it was still OK
to go topside to watch the planes take off and land.  My dad
(obviously) accompanied us, and as we were coming back through the
terminal, we saw someone who looked VERY familiar.  I nudged Herb and
whispered, "Isn't that ROBERT HORTON!?".  He said,Yeah, go over and
find out."  "Oh, no!  Not ME!"

So while we were wrangling, my dad went over and said, "Mr. Robert
Horton?  I have two kids here who would like to meet you."  It WAS he,
and we got to shake his hand (a bit of a limp handshake), and both of
us thought we'd die!  I think we mumbled something about begin glad to
meet him and we thought he was great, but I'm not sure.

I mean, WOW!  He was a BIG star, and we got to MEET him!

(now, name that series.  Ward Bond was also the star...)
